I had always been able to drag a tab and drop it on to the bookmarks toolbar to bookmark it, and it would show there for easy clicking. Recently though I replaced my computer, and now whenever I try to drag a tab to bookmark it just opens a new window. Is there a setting or something I'm missing? I miss having the easy access to frequent sites!

Thank you

Make sure that the "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" control is still present on the Bookmarks Toolbar.

  • 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 to the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window to the toolbar
  • if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults button in the Customize palette window to restore the default toolbar set.

Thank you! Of course it was something simple I was just looking over.
