I have a new Macbook Pro and when I migrated everything over, nothing moved with Firefox.

I am now trying to add bookmarks to my toolbar and they are not being saved in the toolbar. I have closed and reopened Firefox, have the latest version and nothing is happening.

When I Show all my bookmarks it shows them in a folder. When I try to re add them to the Toolbar, they will not stay.

Please help and please dumb it down.

You can remove bookmarks from the Bookmarks Toolbar in the Bookmarks Manager (Library; Show All Bookmarks).

It is possible that you do not have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" on the Bookmarks Toolbar.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.

  • Firefox menu button > Options/Preferences
  • View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the hidden Menu bar)
  • Right-click empty toolbar area

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

  • 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 toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks 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
