That message said; Refresh Firefox. The problem is, some are not told of the results of this.

Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings

If you're having problems with Firefox, refreshing it can help. The refresh feature fixes many issues by restoring Firefox to its default state while saving your essential information like bookmarks, passwords, and open tabs.

Hi, to see the favorites bar (known as bookmarks bar in Firefox), right click in the tab bar (but not on a tab) and tick/check Bookmarks Toolbar. Also see - Bookmarks Toolbar - Display your favorite websites at the top of the Firefox window.
