I dont know why, but yesterday my bookmark icon is gone and i cant restore it. Even if i reset the toolbar.
I mean this icon:

The toolbar settings only provide one bookmark icon which open the sidebar which i dont like
Funny thing is if i install this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... rksbutton/ i can restore the icon. But not without
Why?

If you right-click anywhere in the toolbar and click on "Customize..." from the context menu you can then drag the bookmark icon you have mentioned (that is missing in the toolbar) from the Customize Window to wherever you want it on the toolbar:
customize toolbar window.png
I use this bookmark icon:

bookmark icon is use.png (4.73 KiB) Viewed 1534 times
which will remain visible on the toolbar even if I enable the toolbar menu (pressing F10):
I have the Menu Bar disabled (unless I press F10, which then displays the Menu Bar until the Menu Bar is used) so that the tabs lineup with the Blue Pale Moon button saving space.

You can try the following options:

1)

The profile folder - xulstore.json - "bookmarks-menu-button" should be on these lines:

Code: Select all

    'nav-bar': {
      'currentset': 'unified-back-forward-button,reload-button,stop-button,home-button,urlbar-container,bookmarks-menu-button,history-menu-button,downloads-button,window-controls,webrtc-status-button'
    },
    'bookmarks-menu-button': {
      'class': 'chromeclass-toolbar-additional toolbarbutton-1'
    },
2)

The profile/chrome folder - userChrome.css:

Code: Select all

#bookmarks-menu-button {
  display: block !important;
}

Thanks very much for this helpful thread dark_moon and other contributors :D ... My Bookmark icon disappeared today... which had me really puzzled! :wtf: Thanks for reporting the bug too! :thumbup:

Strange... because I've run NoScript for a long time and had no problems... and bug has still only appeared on one PC... both PCs running NoScript and with identical toolbar layouts. However I'd been playing around with adding NoScript's 'Temporarily Allow all this page' & 'Revoke Temporary Permissions' icons/buttons to both my Navigation Toolbars and must have triggered the bug somehow on one machine? :?

Like you I opened PM browser to find no Bookmarks icon on Nav Toolbar and only the other 'Bookmark Sidebar' icon sitting in the 'Customize' Icons box... and I don't like the 'Bookmarks Sidebar' option (too greedy for vert & horiz space, moves rather than overlays current open tab... but would mind it's search box option in a perfect world?).

BTW/FWIW - I also use an old version of BookmarkMenuHider Add-on (version-1.2.1-signed.1-signed) to further simplify the Bookmark options at head of list... Add-on still works and saves writing more CSS. :) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bookmarkmenuhider/versions/?page=1#version-1.2.1-signed.1-signed

Off-topic:
Blacklab, thanks for mentioning that bookmark extension. With Firefox I was using SImple Bookmarks Menu to hide the crud in the bookmarks menu, but that doesn't work with the "early versions of FF" AKA Pale Moon. This one does just fine.
