Hi,

My bookmarks tab bar has gone missing. It was literally there 15 minutes ago and now its disappeared! I have tried 3 fixes: 1) View, toolbars and it is 'ticked' 2) I went into customise and did a similar thing 3) I clicked the 'show your bookmarks' button at the top and 'view bookmarks sidebar' is ticked

I have checked in 'Show all bookmarks' which took me to a library and they are all there! I just cant get them back to their position as a bar on the browser!

Would appreciate some advice on how to restore (I am a basic user)

Thankyou!

Make sure toolbars like the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.

  • "3-bar" menu button -> Customize -> Show/Hide Toolbars
  • View -> Toolbars
    You can tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
  • Right-click empty toolbar area

Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.

  • "3-bar" menu button -> Customize
  • check that "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • if "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize palette to the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window to the toolbar
  • if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults button in the Customize palette window to restore the default toolbar set.

You may have accidentally removed button(s) from the Navigation Toolbar.

If you right-click a toolbar item in normal (non-customize) mode then you can remove this item from the toolbar.

  • "Remove from Toolbar" will remove this item from the Navigation Toolbar and moves it to the Customize palette ("3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize)
  • "Move to Menu" will move this item to the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list
  • "Move to Toolbar" in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list will move this item to the toolbar
