There’s a typical pattern concerning Web browser toolbars that you tend to see with people as they learn how to use that particular browser.
At first they will be hesitant to add any new add-on, extension or toolbar to the browser, for fear that they will install something that will break their computer.
But as time goes by and they become more comfortable, new programs start to get installed that add toolbars by default, and that default installation starts to look very different.
Then their computer starts running slowly, and someone comes over to check it out, only to determine that all of the toolbars are slowing the computer down substantially. So they start removing any toolbar they find, which could lead to the accidental removal of the bookmarks toolbar.
Luckily you can restore the bookmarks toolbar in Firefox even if you have removed it, using just a few short steps.
Display the Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar
Bookmarks are a crucial element of using any Web browser, which is why every major browser has some sort of method in place for quickly accessing, backing up or editing your bookmarks.
So if you have come to rely upon the links in your Firefox bookmarks toolbar, then your entire Firefox experience will be downgraded until that means of navigation has been restored. Thankfully it is a simple process, so just follow the steps below to restore that bookmark toolbar and start browsing as usual.
Step 1: Launch Firefox.
Step 2: Click the Firefox tab at the top-left corner of the window.
Step 3: Click Options, then click Bookmarks Toolbar.
You should now be able to access your Firefox bookmarks using the various links contained in that toolbar.
Did you know that you can also set up Firefox to open with the windows and tabs that were open the last time that you were using the browser? This article will teach you how to do just that. This is a great way to use Firefox if you find that you accidentally close your browser a lot, or if you don’t really have a preferred site that you want to set as your home page.
