My bookmarks don't show up in their bar, but they're technically there. I can see them in the bookmark menu.

I don't know how exactly this happened, but I can see my bookmarks in the right bar when I open the menu with ctrl-shift-b, but they dont show up in the designated bar in my browsing tabs. I already made a couple new ones there, because I thought mine were simply lost. They too show up when I press ctrl-shift-b, alongside my other bookmarks. But I cant get my old ones to be displayed.

Im logged into my firefox sync account and synced a couple of times after reinstalling / resetting firefox. But none did help.

I'd love to attach an image where you can see all bookmarks listed up on the left side and that they dont show up like that where they're supposed to on the right side. But the forum can't seem to handle my 300kb jpeg upload right now.

Hi, if the bookmarks button is missing, open the 3-bar menu > Customize, and if you can see it, simply drag it to a toolbar and the location of your choice, then Exit Customize to save. If the button isn't there, try clicking on Restore Defaults. More here - Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars.

To see the bookmarks bar, right click in the tab bar (but not on a tab) and tick/check Bookmarks Toolbar. Also see - Bookmarks Toolbar - Display your favorite websites at the top of the Firefox window.

Also try disabling Reddit Enhancement Suite - Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A).
