Description

[Herman.Ryckelynck]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; nl; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; nl; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

everything worked well, but today when starting Firefox all my toolbar settings - except for the navigation toolbar - dissapeared, except 3 items. (Instead of 4 bars only 3 remained.)
However, asking a new window brought all the settings (incl. add-ons) back.(now 4 bars again) Everything works as normal.
Note: I cannot find all of the items back in the customize window(view)in the starting window,though they don't appear in the toolbar. As a result I cannot reset them.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.ininstalled Firefox
2.restart the computer
3.reinstalled Firefox
4.restart the computer

Actual Results:  
Nothing changed after all of the above steps.

Expected Results:  
?

Asking a new window and replacing all of the items in the toolbar back in the customize window (view) was resulting only in losing all of the toolbar settings in the new window to. After trying to repair it bij closing and restarting Firefox several times, suddenly all my setting were back again, but only when asking for a new window.

This bug was originally reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.8 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
