Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.

  • Firefox menu button > Options
  • View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)

You can try to move the (Google) search bar back to its position on the Navigation Toolbar.

  • if missing items are in the toolbar 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 toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file if the above didn't help.
