bookmarks toolbar
My <bookmarks toolbar> bookmarks do not show up on the third line of the browser, even though that option in checked when you right-click the first or third lines of the browser. How can I fix this?

Try this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolbar_custo ... on_startup
Deleting localstore.rdf will reset all the toolbar settings, so you might first try to rename (e.g. localstore.rdf.org) to test if that solves it.

Bookmark files are all just a few k in size
*sighs* I am having a different, yet similar issue. I opened firefox a day or so ago to go check some email. And was startled when I saw the bookmarks toolbar was blank. Looked at my bookmarks manager, also no bookmarks. My history is still intact. I have followed directions in the past pages, none apply. My profile is still there, but my bookmarks files are all tiny, and all contain only the basic intial links, such as links to mozilla/firefox places.
I have run chkdsk under Windows XP Pro [I can only find a simple dos window popup] and it seems to think everything is fine. Help?

If you are running Fx 1.5 or 1.5.0.1 you can check the bookmarkbackups folder in your Profile Folder

bookmarks toolbar
Thanks dickvl for helping me put my missing bookmark toolbar shorcuts back.
I did the safe mode start, reset the toolbars and controls, and everything popped back up. And in the process of customizing the toolbar afterwards I accidentallly managed to make everthing fit onto two lines instead of three, which is nicer. Thanks for your help.

Did you copy the file to the correct location?
You can use this to find/verify the location of the profile:
(from: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Folder#Other_profiles)
Open: Tools > JavaScript Console and click 'All' and 'Clear' to clear the display and copy/paste this code in the field near the top.
Presss the Return or Enter key, or click the Evaluate button.
The console displays the location of the profile that is currently in use.
Close Firefox and find the Profile Folder.
If you use windows XP/2K then use this: (%APPDATA% is a hidden folder)
Start > Run: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ (copy/paste)
Go to the xxxxxxxx.default or default.xxx folder (random name).

Here's your profile: http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile#backup .
And here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder .
You can view the bookmarks files by opening them with your browser, so you can see what you are doing.

I had the profile thing pop up and like an idiot thought it would be best to delete the default and then just create a new one. Of course, I lost all my files and now I can't get them back again. Doing the firefox -p thing doesn't work because I have a new default one...
Is there any possible way to get back bookmarks and such after the default profile has been deleted? Thanks a lot
