I am still experiencing trouble with my bookmark toolbar.
When i first switch on my computer the toolbar fails to appear, I then have to click View/Toolbars and un-tick bookmark toolbar, and then re-tick it before the toolbar will appear.
Can anyone please advise me on how to correct this fault?
My computer operates on Microsoft XP and my browser on Firefox 8.0.1

All very strange, but why doesn't load the same as all the other toolbars?

Do you have a Bookmarks Icon on the toolbar (not the bookmarks toolbar)?
If not, open Customise (R-click on blank area of toolbar) .. look for icon and drag to normal toolbar far LH side.
If you cannot edit bookmarks, localstore.rdf file in Profile is probably corrupted.
Start Firefox in Safe mode (Help Menu .. Reststart with addons disabled)
Follow link to reset toolbars.
That should fix it.

Thank you for your help but I don't fancy putting Firefox into safe mode, because it says any alterations are non reversible, so I may finish off worse off than I am now.
I will either put up with the problem or revert back to my earlier version of Firefox, which I would have done if the back arrow problem had been fixed earlier.
I am using Firefox 3.6.24 on my laptop, and now that the back arrow problem has finally been fixed, it is much better than the troublesome 8.0.1 version.
Thank again for your help.
