When you have firefox running, open a file dialog, e.g. with a "Browse" button
on a website or "File --> Open File", leave it and open a new instance of
firefox, the bookmarks toolbar and bookmarks sidebar will be empty. As soon as
you close the dialog from instance 1, instance 2 will show the bookmarks.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox
2. Choose "File --> Open File"
3. Leave the dialog open and
4. Open a new instance (new window)

Actual Results:  
Bookmarks toolbar and sidebar are empty

Expected Results:  
bookmarks toolbar and sidebar show bookmarks

The problem with the boomkarks toolbar does go away after you close the
file->open file... dialog.

Other problems encountered:
*) customize (for the toolbars) does not work
*) Clicking on bookmarks inside the Bookmarks menu do not go anywhere
*) File->Open File... cannot be used.
*) Find in this page dialog (on older builds) opens but cannot be closed
*) Print Preview will not work (says "Preparing...")


*) Going into Tools->Options... restores the Bookmarks toolbar and allows
bookmarks to work again.  It does not fix the Find dialog problem (on older
builds), however.
*) File->Import... also restores the Bookmarks toolbar

very similar to bug 257121
Confirmed.

Strange, If the open file dialog is open, delayedStartup just doens't happen _it
is_ called ( setTimeout(delayedStartup, 0); )
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true

not a "blocker" in that sense.  Needs investigation/fixing, but we've shipped
with this many times, so I'm not too concerned if we don't figure it out.

Bah.
Duplicate: bug 338225 -> bug 257121, as bug 338225 was a regression which happened much later then the current bug.
No longer depends on: 257121
