Idiotic Firefox Browser Question

[Superman]

This morning I downloaded Firefox and I bookmarked Google, but there is no "bar" showing me my bookmarks all the time. In Chrome, there is a strip on the screen showing my favorite bookmarks like Google. How do I make this strip appear in Firefox?

And just to show my cyberignorance, Firefox and Chrome are "browsers," right? And Google is a search engine, right?

Try clicking Views > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar > Always show.
You are correct regarding them being browsers and a search engine.

Thank you Cap'n. Six minutes. This place is SO reliable.

Brave is reputed to be the most private. There are others.
DuckDuckGo uses Bing I think and allows tracking. Don't believe the commercials.
I'm now using Startpage mostly which uses Google I think. A data-mining company. FB made 134B last year.
Ecosia doesn't return very good results. Especially by the second page.
Bing, with all the pop-ups and experimental bs is almost unusable, unfortunately.

If they don't store it on your computer they store it on their own servers. 'Privacy' is a variable term.
Use what works for you.

No Javascript. No company to report to. Not even much for style sheet support. Very fast. Actually works for a lot of stuff.




Or hell, just telnet to port 80 and parse the HTML yourself

I suspect you should have the following icon in FF that also gets you access to your bookmarks.

LOL! What, you aren't using Lynx?
