Can you locate the bookmarks in the bookmark library?

Firefox uses the term bookmarks in lieu of "Favorites".

Upon installation Firefox usually asks the user if they want to import Favorites (and other data) into Firefox, and later on the user can use Bookmarks > Show All bookmarks -> Import & Backup --> Import Data from Another Browser.

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

• Firefox menu button > Options
• View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the 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
