Why does my bookmarks tab keep disapearing from the top of my page? It's very annoying when I cannot restore it to the top!
When I first downloaded Firefox, the bookmark tab was at the top of that start page and stayed there. Now, it has disappeared and when I can get it back, it only appears as an open column on the right or left side of the page. What must I do to keep it at the top?

In Firefox speak, the bar at the top is the Menu Bar and the panel at the left is the Sidebar. There's also a toolbar button for the Bookmarks menu.
(1) Menu Bar
You can use one of these methods to show the toolbar list:
- right-click (on Mac Ctrl+click) a blank spot on the tab bar (or the "+" button)
- (menu bar) View > Toolbars
On Windows, tap the Alt key to activate the menu bar temporarily. - in Customize mode > Show/Hide Toolbars (see: Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars)
To turn on the Menu Bar or Bookmarks Toolbar, click it on the list.
(2) Toolbar button
The new bookmarks menu button (
) should work the same way as the old bookmarks menu button (
), which was the "right-half" of the inseparable star+book duo.
To add that button, either:
(A) Use the Customize panel (Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars) to drag the icon to the desired spot on the toolbar
(B) Use the method from Bookmarks in Firefox - section entitled: How do I add the Bookmarks Menu button to the toolbar?
- Click the "Library" button:
- Click "Bookmarks"
- Click "Bookmarking Tools"
- Click "Add Bookmarks Menu to Toolbar"
