I have had to create a new Firefox on one of my computers. I have imported my bookmarks, but there appears to be no way to import the Bookmark Toolbar. This is tiresome. So I wonder if I can use Sync to do the job? My Bookmark Toolbar exists on my other PC. Is it safe simply to use Sync to do the job of importing the Bookmark Toolbar to my new Firefox? I use Windows 10.

Did you import an HTML backup ?

If bookmarks imported via an HTML backup do not have the bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar then those bookmarks might have been ended up at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder, so you can check that.

To show or hide the Bookmarks Toolbar is to right-click a blank spot on the Tab bar at the top of the Firefox window, find Bookmarks Toolbar in the context menu and choose your preferred setting.
