google lite search bar not showing in my Firefox 31 toolbar
I had Google lite search bar showing in my Firefox 31 toolbar but somehow managed to make it disappear by mistake. It shows as ticked in the addons drop down. Any suggestions to make it appear again please?

When you say the Add-ons drop-down, do you mean the toolbar list in these places?
- right-click a blank area of the tab bar
- right-click the "+" button on the tab bar
- "3-bar" menu button > Customize > "Show/Hide Toolbars"
- (menu bar) View > Toolbars
There are two occasional problems which could be a factor here:
(1) Extension conflict. Some extensions may conflict with others when it comes to space on bar and vertical space in the toolbar area. This may be difficult to sort out.
(2) Corrupted toolbar layout file. You can rename the file and re-customize from scratch.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
- "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
- (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
- "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
- (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename localstore.rdf to something like localstore.old
Start Firefox back up again. Can you get all your preferred bars to show?
Thanks, fixed it.
