I've somehow lost my tab bar. It holds the tabs I use regularly. Help.

With Windows 10, I had a horizontal bar at the top that held tabs I wanted to use regularly. That entire horizontal bar of tabs is gone, along with the button to reveal the overflow tabs (that had no room on the horizontal bar).

First - What did I do to lose that entire bar, and Second why is it so amazingly difficult to bring it back??? I don't know about Tab Groups. I'm not interested in that at this time.

Are the other toolbars visible?

If No: Check to make sure Firefox is not in its full screen view. The F11 key switches between regular and full screen view.

If Yes: The Bookmarks Toolbar might be turned off. You can use one of these methods to show the toolbar list and turn on the desired bars there:

To turn on the Bookmarks Toolbar, Menu Bar, or other bars, click it on the list.

Does that work?

You saved the day. Much thanks. It seems I somehow turned off what is called the bookmark bar.

To answer your earlier questions - I did have the basic bars, just not the one I kept regularly used Tabs on.

The Joke of the Day - Two cows are standing in a field. One cow turns to the other and says 'Are you worried about that mad cow disease that's going around?' The other cow says 'Me? No! I'm not worried about catching mad cow...I can't catch it...I'm a squirrel!

Thanks again.
