I do not use Firefox Bookmarks, so I turn off the Bookmarks toolbar (gives me more screen room).  However, whenever I close and restart Firefox, it appears again.

Reproducible: Always

I don't think this is a duplicate of 319196.  My Bookmarks are not lost - they do survive from session to session.  However, I do not use the Firefox bookmark bar, I use the bookmarks in the Google toolbar, so I don't want the Bookmarks toolbar to appear.  However, same thing for any of the toolbars - if I uncheck them so they are hidden, next time I restart Firefox they are shown again.  It does not retain the on/off status of the toolbars.

Bug 319196 has different issues, so its not always that all bookmarks are lost too. Please see also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolbar_customizations_reset_on_startup

You are correct!  Resetting through Safe Mode startup did solve the problem.  Somehow my searches in the bug reports, and reading them, I did not come across that.  Thank you.
