lost my toolbar on the top of page, Mozilla

11 years ago

browser, I am going nuts trying to find it again. What do you think I did to lose it? Click something I shouldn't have? Been just fine for years, now this, and I am lost. Thanks for anything from anyone. Appreciate someone being there for this question.
My bookmarks, waah, what happened? All is gone!

I think you've gone full screen. Hit F11 and see if they come back.

Maybe, until someone else comes along, who's not half asleep, try right clicking a blank space at top of your screen for your toolbars. Check (left click) Menu bar and Bookmarks toolbar.

If it is Sea Monkey browser, look up in the upper left corner ,and to the left of the Back arrow, File and Home buttons, are these little areas that have a downward pointing arrow head and a couple of rows of dots. Click on one of those to expand the tool bar. several times I have done that and closed my tool bars with out meaning to and have to click those areas to expand them.

I use the bookmark tool bar that is part of firefox. At the top you have the 3 bars above where your tabs are, the one with file, view etc, then you have the middle one and then the bottom one that bottom one is the bookmarks toolbar and you can create a folder there on that bar and store your daily used bookmarks in there, I have mine set up with several folders like forums, mail, music etc and in each folder I have my associated sites, if you just have a few sites you want to use then you can do that with out making folders, When you are at a site you want to use, use your cursor on the address bar and grab the little icon of that web address that is at the right end and drag it onto the bookmarks toolbar, then it will become a link you can click on. to create the folders on that bar just right click on the bookmarks toolbar and choose new folder, then you can change the name to what ever you want. To put a site into that folder go to the website then right click on that folder and choose add bookmark here. If you put individual sites on your bar and want to change the name or shorten it just right click on it and choose properties and there you can change that. Here you can see how mine looks click on that a couple times to get full size. Now I only have 2 bars then my tabs I did away with my middle bar so, and moved some of the stuff that used to be on the middle bar up to my top bar, so I have that and then below that I have the bookmarks bar with my folders and fave sites there. see if that would help you out

I will try this. I keep forgetting about right click options. I went into tools and clicked the pull down menu and clicked on customize. What came up were all the "buttons" I am missing. But all it indicated was that I needed to drag each button and place it at the top. I am not good at dragging but I could find no other options.Are there any??? I could not find any place where there were check marks, as are on newer programs. BTW, I only use MSWord, so these buttons were at the top once and now are gone. As for finding out how much space on my disks, another question I had, the right click did work for me in My Computer. Thanks.

look for a little shaded vertical bar, grab it with your mouse and slide it open or a little arrow, that you click and will get a drop down with those missing things Youve probably just grabbed it with your mouse by accident and slid the menu bar one way or the other. Or drug it up or down out of place from what youre accustomed to. You should be able to drag it back then right click and put a check mark next to lock toolbar... so it's not likely to happen again.

I have absolutely nothing, no red X at top, no tool bar at all,as breenthumb is suggesting, perhaps have gone full screen, and will check that to see otherwise, I will be back. Had to get a new keyboard, perhaps this is the reasoning behind the problem? Love the machine, it is just too darn smart sometimes!
Thank you all for your responses.

Thanks breenthumb, I never would have thought of using that, it never has ever happened before, and spoze the new keyboard had something to do with that. So grateful, now I can have a peaceful day again!

FYI: The F11 toggling is standard on all browsers as far as I know.
