You can check your "about:config" file.

Just enter "about:config" (without the quotation marks) into your Navigation Toolbar and hit Enter. Now click on the "I promise I'll be careful" button to proceed. Scroll down to "browser.urlbar.maxRichResults."

Any number other than 0 should be there. If it's set to 0 then change it to something like 12, or however many results you wish the Awesome bar to display.

Hope that helps.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"

  • If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
  • If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
  • If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.
