Did you check preferences?

Edit->Preferences->Navigator:
Select the buttons you want to see in the toolbars
[x] Bookmarks   [x] Search
[x] Go          [ ] Print
[ ] Home

If the bookmarks are missing in the Personal Toolbar, you´ve got to open
Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks, click on a folder holding the folders and bookmarks
you want to see in the Personal Toolbar, and then, when this folder is selected,
open the menu View->Set As Personal Toolbar Folder.

did it help?

To get this working, you must select a folder first, click on it, so it is
highlighted, then  click on "Set As Personal Toolbar Folder".
Other possibility is, that the folder you selected *IS* already your Personal
Toolbar Folder, then  "Set As Personal Toolbar Folder" its grayed out too.
In this case, select another one, just for test, you can set it back later.
Maybe something is wrong with your current Personal Toolbar Folder.

What theme are you using, classic/modern? 
Switch to modern/classic to see if this bug is theme related.

Do you have add-ons installed?

Make sure to toggle the prefs/checkboxes for the Bookmarks/Home buttons!
