Personal tab suddenly not showing
Hello,
Since the bug with the extensions / modules not working, those are back and working BUT my personal tab (the tab under the address bar where you can pin pages) is not showing whatever i do.

That could mean the problem is #3 if you have Firefox set to Restore Previous Session automatically at startup. You can use the link in the earlier reply to see more on that.

Hi, I think you mean what Firefox calls the Bookmarks Toolbar. Is the problem:
(1) The bar is not there at all, ever (2) The bar is there, but it's blank (3) The bar appears for a moment at startup but then vanishes (4) Something else? Something inside your home page itself??
For #1:
To turn a missing Bookmarks Toolbar back on, you can use one of these methods to show the toolbar list and select it there:
- right-click (on Mac Ctrl+click) a blank spot on the tab bar (or the "+" button)
- (menu bar) View > Toolbars
On Windows, tap the Alt key to activate the menu bar temporarily. - in Customize mode > Toolbars button (see: Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars)
To turn on the Bookmarks Toolbar, Menu Bar, or other bars, click it on the list. Does that work?
For #2:
Please use the Restore Defaults button at the bottom of the Customize panel. This article will get you there: Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars.
For #3:
This seems to be related to the automatic session restore features and strikes some users randomly. More advice if it seems relevant. Or check out: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1255289
Thanks for your help, the problem is (1)
I already tried to turn back on this toolbar with #1 but it's not working.
The toolbar content is there if i go into the Bookmarks menu (i can see what is called in french the "barre personnelle", or customised bar) but checking on or off the option when i right click on a blank space has no effect at all.

Hey, you were totally right ! The problem was indeed #3 and the solution provided in the link worked like a charm.
Thanks a LOT ! I was at a loss and i think i would never have thought of doing that :-). You saved my day !
