Bookmarks bar disappearing apparently still an issue after 12 years.
I searched the forums, and it appears this issue has answers going back 12 years.
Answers explain how to get it to show up again. Basically, it amounts to turning the bar off and back on again.
The problem is it WILL happen again. Why? It's been 12 years and no explanation as to why it happens or how to fix it permanently.
None of the Firefox updates over the years have addressed this either.

"Ctrl+B" is the keyboard shortcut to toggle the Bookmarks Sidebar. "Ctrl+Shift+B" is the keyboard shortcut to toggle the Bookmarks Toolbar. "Ctrl+Shift+O" is the keyboard shortcut to Open the Library.
If the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible but stays empty, then make sure that the "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" control is placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar (if necessary use Restore Default).
There could be a problem with the places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.
- use the "Places Database" -> "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page
If errors are reported with "Verify Integrity", close and restart Firefox or reboot and retry.
