Could you test:

1) In safe mode: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

2) With a fresh profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

Same behavior?

Yes. The navigation bar disappears from first run tab and start page tab as soon as I open the addons tab.

I also have very weird regression with back button and private browsing, as reported in bug #843513. I don't know if its related.

If you downgrade to Firefox 18 (or older versions), does it happen to?
If not, it might be a regression.

I rebuilt 18.0.2 and downgraded. It does not happen there.

Definitively a regression.

So, can you use mozregression to find a regression range, please.
It's easy to use on Linux, see http://harthur.github.com/mozregression/
First FF18 builds started in August (--good=2012-08-01).

i cannot use prebuilt binaries. My linux distro is built with uclibc. I will have to bisec it using sources. I have experience with bisceting with git, but not with mercurial, so i think I can make it if i get a bit hand holding (specifically, how do i check out the FF18 branch and mark it 'good')

Compiled versions are available on the FTP:

I cannot use compiled versions since they are built against glibc, and my distro uses uClibc.

This seems to be fixed with firefox-20.0.

But now i cannot enter anything in address bar. (I can type in there but when pressing enter nothing happens). I'll file a new issue for that.

No need, it's bug 857672 and it's fixed in 20.0.1.
