For years, I have had the Bookmark Toolbar always show on my initial page and all tabs at the top of page. Something happened and now it does not. I have tried resetting per instructions and it will show on my current page but then not show up my new tab and will disappear from the initial page. I tried a refresh to correct and that did not work either. I was able to get them to show on the left side of the screen but I much prefer them at the top and want to get back to that layout.

You can set this pref to true in about:config.

  • about:config => browser.toolbars.bookmarks.showInPrivateBrowsing => true

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. On the warning page, click "Accept the Risk and Continue" to open about:config.
