I am not used to the bookmarks being in a panel either on the left or right of the FF window. I use tabs for places I visit and use Roboform to complete the entry to a particular website of my choosing. All the bookmarks I desire are in Roboform and rarely use FF bookmarks. Firefox is a wonderful tool and I use it exclusively, but sometimes they do come up with something that is intrusive to the way one is used to working. I personally do not like their bookmarks ad where the update has placed them.

You can close the Bookmarks Sidebar via its close X or via the Ctrl+B shortcut key.

Check that toolbars like the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.

  • "3-bar" menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
  • View > Toolbars
    You can tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
  • Right-click empty toolbar area

Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.

  • "3-bar" menu button > Customize
  • check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • if missing items are in the Customize 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 Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults button to restore the default toolbar setup
