Address and Search Bar are not visible.

Question

Address and Search Bar are not visible.

Not only are the Address and Search Bar not visible, but that entire line of the browser is gone. If you are looking at it from top to bottom you see the Web Site name (in my case, Top Sites), the Bookmark Bar, and then the content. I am running version 5.0.2 (6533.18.5).

Luckily for me, I have google as a Top Site and therefore can navigate the web from there. Please help, this is no way to use a Web Browser and I really do prefer Safari to other web browsers.

Hi, I am having the same problem with my address bar and search bar disappearing. I have read your thread and am very helpful with any help received at the moment. I am not able to locate 'View'. I seem to have a line with a book which displays 'Show all bookmarks' when scrolled over, then another button with with a whole lot of ;little squares that represents 'show top sites', followed by quick link for the apple website, Yahoo, Google & You tube. I used to have the address bar underneath this where I was able to click on customize but that whole line has disappeared.

View is located in the menu bar at the very top of the screen. When in Safari, the menu bar consists of; Apple, Safari, File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, etc. You just pull down the View menu and click Show Toolbar, Show Bookmarks Bar, and Show Status Bar. Hope this helps.
