Web Developer Toolbar Broken / Empty / not showing, Fixed

  Posted: January, 01 2008

For those who have the Web Developer tool bar installed, and have had some problems with it disappearing suddenly, then here’s a quick fix.

This normally happens due to an update or Browser crash - the solution is simple, but not terribly obvious when scouring the Tool Menus.

The Problem

Web Developer developer add-on not showing Icons or text, or both.

The Solution

Quite possibly one of the easiest solutions to date, but none the less have made it available.

  1. Right-click on the Toolbar and choose ‘Customize’
  2. Drag any missing buttons from the ‘Customize Toolbar’ window to the toolbar or simply click ‘Restore Default Set’
  3. Click ‘Done’.

Told you it was simple - make sure Icons and Text are selected from the drop down menu if you require both.

:)

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I feel like one of those stupid people who think their computer is broken and the IT guy just says “reboot your machine” and it fixes the “problem”.
