The sprocket at the upper right end of the bookmark toolbar is missing--how do I get it back?

more options

While attempting to figure out how to get the dotted square or blank icon to turn into a favicon, I noticed that the subject of my question was missing. I do not mean the internet options sprocket that is in the drop down menu under the 3 lines icon at the right end of the address/search menu bar.

Also, if you can give me any clues to how to fix the favicon issue, I would appreciate that.

Thank you.

I'm sorry but I don't remember there normally being a "gear" or "sprocket" icon on the right end of the Bookmarks Toolbar. Mine generally has an overflow icon (>>) which shows more bookmarks in a drop-down list. Do you have that one?


Do you have any bookmark-related add-ons that might have added the other icon? Perhaps it needs an update. You can check the status of your extensions and check for updates on the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then:

(1) Make sure any bookmark-related extensions are enabled. Disabled extensions cluster at the bottom of the list on a gray background.

(2) Use the "gear" button above the list to Check for Updates.

Any improvement?
