Restart with addons disabled: Go to Help ➙ Restart with Add-ons disabled just to check.

No difference. I restarted TB with addons disabled, installed new addon (no restart was required), then restarted again with addons disabled. My INBOX layout (folder columns) was reset to default state.

I want to make more exact. After the first restart with addons disabled the folder layout was intact, it was reset after the second restart.
But suddenly when I restarted normally (exit TB and ran it again), my folder layout was again there (not default, but my custom, which was before I restarted TB with addons disabled).

Yes, it seems it is a dup of bug 710056, so duping it.
