Firefox bookmarks toolbar doesn't show

Firefox's bookmarks toolbar doesn't show properly for me on start-up of FF and opening any new FF windows:

The top image is what my Firefox (3.0) looks like when I start it, the bottom image is what it should look like. However the bookmarks toolbar only shows if I right-click on the menubar to get that "Navigation toolbar/Bookmarks toolbar/Customize" little menu, then click Customize and once that customize window opens the bookmarks toolbar appears just fine as per the bottom image.

It's no biggie but wouldn't mind "fixing" this if it can be so, thanks for any help.

It may be an absurd question, but did you check the "[x] Bookmarks toolbar"?

Not absurd, I actually don't have it checked because if it's checked it leaves a blank toolbar space. But this occurs even if it is checked
