Do you have any add-ons installed? That theme are you using?

i gave up trying to go through options lists and devided to sacrifice the lost list of bookmarks and try a fresh re instal with no previous settings or data saved but the new instal did not mend the loss of many off the bookmark facilitys

Bookmarks apears as usual between History and Tools, But it no longer apears as a drop down list and the 'Star' that adds new bookmarks is also gone. I at first thought a simple refesh would bring them back but no, then I tryed the 'help' advice but was overly complicated but indicated that it was a fairly comon problen. I've now tryed system restore and re-install, still no drop-down Bookmark lists or options for creating a new list
