My yahoo toolbar is gone.. I don’t know what I clicked(if it was me) and the address search box is gone.
I have uninstalled, reinstalled yahoo toolbar so many times, not it. and even intalled google toolbar… cant see that either!
WTF?
Only info online is bs about clicking on the double arrows to find it… it’s not there so dont tell me to look!
What do i do to get it back? I’m going nuts here!

Thank you so much. Mine had disappeared after some update a few weeks ago.
Btw, did you know you can load so many more bookmarks onto the toolbar, just by cutting off their names that are written next to them, that way you triple the space up there. All what’s left is the symbol itself, which is quite small, but you still know which one is which. Just right-click each bookmark > properties. Since now the description is already highlighted inside the small pop-up window, simply hit the delete key and save! It looks soooo much better – and more organized that way. Plus you will have room for almost 50 bookmarks now!!!

Thanks for posting another solution, it will hopefully help some users who are also experiencing disappearing toolbar bookmarks in Firefox.

I also had the problem of disappearing toolbar bookmarks, in Firefox 4. The problem seems to be with the Google Toolbar.

EXPERIMENT:
If the Google Toolbar is activated (all other extensions off), I can reproduce the bookmarks toolbar becoming empty by customizing a button to a different position (I moved the Home button between the arrow and the location bar). When I do that, the otherwise hidden Menu Bar does not automatically disappear and I cannot customize further. The next time I open FF, the bookmarks toolbar is empty.
If I turn off the Google Toolbar as well (i.e. all extensions disabled), the behavior described above does not occur. Turn it on again and the problem is back…

CONCLUSION:
Maybe the problem of the original poster was caused not by the newly installed extension itself, but by it customizing the toolbar by adding a button (I don’t know the specifics of that extension); with Google Toolbar messing up because of the customization.

SOLUTION(S) (worked for me):
1. Restore bookmarks toolbar:
1a. Right click empty area within a toolbars
1b. Customize…
1c. Restore default set
1d. Restart Firefox

2. Avoid future disappearance of the toolbar bookmarks:
2a. Disable or remove the Google Toolbar (it’s a shame for some of the features, I know)
2b. Restart Firefox
(2c. Customize toolbars as you normally would)

I hope this saves somebody some of the frustration I experienced over this…

Fixing missing icons from bookmark toolbar: right click on bookmarks toolbar space with missing icons. Click on Customize at the bottom. Window will open with lcons not on any toolbar.
