It only disappeared briefly - I found it as the first item under the Bookmarks dropdown menu (see uploaded image). How do I get them back where they used to be, i.e. on the right, below the URL/search box. Many thanks to fellow Firefoxers.

Many thanks for the tips. When I opened Firefox this morning, the Bookmarks Toolbar was where it used to be. Another of those "it fixed itself" stories.

Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars {web link}

Type about:customizing<enter> in the address box.

Note: about:customizing is no longer present in Firefox v47+ releases.

  • Press Alt or F10 to bring up the Menu Bar. Then View > Toolbars >
  • Right-click on a blank spot on the toolbar and select what you want.
  • Right-click on a blank spot on the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar.
    Look for Show / Hide Toolbars or just Toolbars at the bottom left.
    There is also a Restore Defaults button at the bottom right.

Open the Customize page and set what toolbars (Show/Hide Toolbars) and toolbar items to display.

  • check that "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • if "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize palette to the Customize page to the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize page to the toolbar
  • if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults
