Here is a screen shot of my firefox after it has been re-set.  I have done a full clean install as well as a profile re-set.  Neither do any good.  There is a bug in incremental releases of firefox when this shows its ugly head.

How is the profile stored?  Is it a network share, or a special file system, an SSD or something?  Has anything crashed recently (or connection lost if on a network share)?

The profile is stored where Firefox is installed by default.
No network share. 
No special file system.
No SSD.
Nothing has crashed recently or connection lost.
I am also running Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit if that makes a difference.

Abi, please don't move bugs that have already been closed out.

I am a little confused here now.  So this is showing as resolved but yet incomplete? And also now closed? Per Whiteboard?
I am not woring about this any more. I have moved on.
