This also happens in Firefox/Minefield e.g. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20090918 Minefield/3.7a1pre

This is toolkit behaviour where the customize toolbar code deliberately deletes empty custom toolbars. Before clicking on "Done" you need to drag something - a spacer will do - on to the toolbar. Once you do that the bar won't disappear when you finish.

You might say this is "broken by design". I'll move this over to Toolkit where a peer there can decide to either resolve this as INVALID/WONTFIX or convert this bug into an enhancement bug.

It's similar to bug 175635. On that bug we are waiting for a reply from the UX team. Could be a dupe then.
