My search bar now has no house icon on it. I have no idea why it vanished and I have no idea how to get it back. I want to continue using Firefox as my search engine. So, when I'm traveling around the internet, I can not get back to my homepage anymore - I have to type it in the search area. I miss the house. Please help.

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

  • "3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars (Windows/Linux)
  • View > Toolbars (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" Firefox 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 into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
  • if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the "Restore Defaults" button to restore the default toolbar setup
