Upon upgrading from 4.4.8.2000 to the new 4.9.4.1000 I was surprised by the encounter of the total absence of the Bookmarks Bar. I rechecked all the settings and don't think I'm missing anything. The thing is, I then uninstalled it and reinstalled and right out of the box so to speak, before messing around with any settings ... it is already missing the Bookmarks Toolbar. Any insight? Is it a flawed version?
