357889 - Menu items grayed, bookmarks in Bookmarks Toolbar disappeared if I customize toolbars

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Malachi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

After customizing the navigation tool bar,  all of the menu items (File, Edit, etc.) were grayed out and I couldn't use them.  In addition, all of my bookmarks on my Bookmarks Tool Bar had disappeared.  When I did this again in another browser window, the menu items grayed out but the bookmarks stayed.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click the Menu or Navigation tool bar
2. Select Customize...
3. Close out of the customize window

Actual Results:  
The menu items grayed out, and were rendered unusable.

Expected Results:  
NOT have grayed out all of the Menu items, so I could still use them.

I was using the Gray Modern2 theme for Firefox 2, although this happens sometimes with the default theme too.

The effects you describe are what happens when the customization window is open.  After closing that window those effects are still in affect?

is the url you posted relevant to this bug report?

Yes, they stay grayed out so I have to close out and open a new window whenever I customize the tool bars.  The URL I added to it just shows a screen shot of what happened (although the bookmarks disappearing on the Bookmarks Tool Bar seldom happens with the menu items graying out).

What extensions are you using? Does it work correctly if you start in Firefox's safe mode (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode)?

I found that it was the Stop-or-Reload Button extension that caused these problems.  They came up with a fix now, so this doesn't happen anymore.  Thanks for your help!
