  *you can tap the Alt key or press the F10 key to show the hidden Menu Bar temporarily

• check that "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar

You can toggle the bookmarks toolbar by pressing Ctrl+Shift+B and make it permanent by right-clicking an empty part of the navigation toolbar > Bookmarks Toolbar > Always Show.

How do we get Firefox Support to respond to this issue? If they have, how do I find it among over 800 related posts? I know how to set the Bookmarks Toolbar to Always show/Only show on new tab/Never show. It used to work. The browser has stopped working according to this setting. I have to manually "show" it in every tab of every window. (Firefox 123.0 64 bit)

Set this pref to true in about:config.

• about:config => browser.toolbars.bookmarks.showInPrivateBrowsing => true
