The bookmarks bar won't show anything.
I cannot get anything onto the bookmarks bar, despite the fact that under the 'Bookmarks' menu the Bookmarks Bar folder is populated. I've recently upgraded to Firefox 4, but it happened before I did this, and the upgrade hasn't helped. All I get is a blank bar, and I cannot drag anything new onto it.

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
- Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
- If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
- If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button
