In newer versions of FF the bookmarks toolbar is off by default, as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-firefox-controls-buttons-and-toolbars?esab=a&as=aaq
I know how to re-enable it manually, which I have to do every single time I start FF. How can I change the default to "on"?

Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.

yyk7789 2 months ago Hi, Im using Norton 360 and was even before this happened. It seems that FF changed their default settings. What is the prescribed way to change them back? Your reply suggests that FF will attempt to restart in the same configuration that it was in when it last exited. Is that so?

yyk7789 2 months ago Thanks - I know how to turn it on each time. What I'm trying to discover is how to have FF turn it on (by default) so I don't have to. This was a recent change by them. It used to be defaulted to "on", not "off".

yyk7789 2 months ago Thanks for a reference to the localstore.rdf. Interesting stuff. That said, I should hope that FF wouldn't expect me to have to dive into that area in order to change a default setting. That sound more like Microsoft than Mozilla.
