Bookmarks toolbar keeps disappearing.

Running version 54.0.1 (64-bit) on Macbook Pro, Sierra 10.12.5: In the past two days, the bookmarks toolbar has begun to intermittently disappear mid-session. 'Bookmarks Toolbar' is checked under View menu. Quitting and re-opening browser restores the toolbar, but it is inconvenient to have to do this, especially since I am usually running at least 3 or 4 active tabs. Anybody else having this problem? Advance thanks for your response. ツ

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.

Thanks for your help! Just downloaded and ran Places Maintenance. If I'm reading the report correctly, I think everything is OK:

> Orphans expiration + Database cleaned up > Coherence check + The database is coherent > Vacuum Initial database size is 20480 KiB + The database has been vacuumed Final database size is 20480 KiB

Hope this did the trick. Time will tell. Thanks again for your help!
