Bookmark toolbar doesn't show the bookmarks(icons)

Post by kauramarjeet@yahoo.com »

Few days ago my PC did not shut down and power went off. After that I am unable to add the bookmarks in the bookmark toolbar I can only access them thru the sidebar or the menubar but I want to have the shortcuts on the bookmark toolbar. It is now empty despite the fact that I did add new bookmarks.


can anyone help!

Thanks.

The same thing has happened to me on two different machines in Mozilla (1.5 and a previous version). I haven't found a solution.

I suggest trying a new profile, by starting MozillaFirebird.exe -p, to see if that fixes the problem.

Will it? I honestly don't know; it's just a suggestion to see what transpires.

I created a new profile (in Mozilla w/ "Manage Profiles") and it took care of the problem. My old profile is still broken, it must be corrupted. Thanks for the help John.

The same thing happened to me but using Firefox. Except I had a zillion bookmarks I'd been collecting for 2 months. I went into the "Mozilla" folders and found the system file with it, (i.e. your profile is still there, the UI for some reason can't find it), and save the bookmarks. Then I reloaded Firefox. Clean fresh no extensions. I began adding the old extension, then two days later as I clicked onthe Firefox icon, it asked me whic user I was. Default or Anna. I realized that when you set up more than one user, the config database gets confused if you don't shut down normally. Anyway somehow it straightened itself out - I chose Default, and everything was back.

Perhaps reload Mozilla, add another user, and that mightforce it to check all the old profiles floating around.
