When I browse for files (via input type=file) and keep the browsing input open, then I open another window (not tab) of Firefox, on that new window the bookmarks toolbar folder disappears.

hint: when I enter a menu component like: Help>about it reappears again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.browse via a <input type=file> for a file.
2.keep the browsing input open.
3.open a new window of Firefox
4.on the new window we just opened the bookmarks toolbar folder doesn't appear.
Actual Results:  
bookmarks toolbar folder doesn't appear

Expected Results:  
keep the bookmarks toolbar visible, I guess.
There is only one instance of Firefox (unless you are going to the trouble using multiple profiles). Pretty sure this will be a dupe of an existing bug ...
Summary: bookmarks toolbar folder disappears if I browse for files on other Firefox instance → bookmarks toolbar folder disappears if I browse for files on other Firefox window
Version: unspecified → 2.0 Branch
also, more symptoms of this bug are:
when you open new tabs on the new window we opened (the browsing input on the first Firefox window is still open), and you go back to the first Firefox window and close the file input, the tabs we opened on the second window close automatically. (it kinda returns to what happened before the browsing input opened).

--IMOPORTANT--
by new instance I meant new window, sorry

Critical severity is crashes, loss of data, severe memory leak - none of which apply here.
