Bookmarks Toolbar does not appear. SOLUTION: uncheck __Restore previous session .18 11 17
Because this question appears in numerous guises have reopened it here with a solution......
What had happened:
Was at a site that opens pop-under windows(ADS). These windows open sans Bookmarks Toolbar. Closed main Firefox window. Then closed a pop-under window(AD). This AD was what opened the next time i used Firefox. Opened a new page but the Toolbar did not return.
What was happening:
The Bookmarks Toolbar would display for a second and then disappear. The menu-item--- View/Toolbars/Bookmarks Toolbar was checked. Reinstalling Firefox seemed a bit extreme.
What did happen:
A user somewhere (can't find it now) suggested this, but had not tried it. I tried it. It worked. Thank you obscure user!. Opened Options in the Menu (rightmost icon on the user bar) under General -- Startup unchecked __Restore previous session Closed and reopened Firefox; et voila,les Bookmarks! All +/-1700 of them. Opened a page and then rechecked __Restore previous session
The universe is as it was.......
