Can I please get someone to confirm this ASAP. I'm using the latest Nightly version as of writing this bug report.

Hey David,

So I think I need some more information here before we can confirm this.

First of all - are you able to reproduce this bug with add-ons disabled?

If so, can you please outline, step by step, what you're doing to reproduce the bug, using a clean profile?

If you cannot reproduce this with add-ons disabled, can you disable your enabled add-ons one by one until you find the one that's introducing the problem?

Thanks,

-Mike

Okay, I can't reproduce the bug in safe mode. To be more specific however: whenever I launch Nightly, it automatically initializes the toolbar by adding the buttons for all add-ons.

Alright - I'm starting to suspect an add-on is misbehaving then.

Would you mind:

a) Supplying your add-ons list, if you're comfortable with that? In about:support, there's a table listing your extensions that you might find useful for copying and pasting.

b) Disabling each add-on one by one, and restarting to see which one is producing the problem?

Thanks,

-Mike

This seems to also be happening with non-plugin buttons too. The "Group your tabs" button has reset position now too.

I've noticed that "Pocket", "Gmail Notifier" and "YouTube Video and Audio Downloader" are forcibly re-adding themselves to the nav-bar.

If you disable those add-ons, does the behaviour go away?

I've disabled the add-ons, and they are appear to be re-enabling themselves.

That sounds extremely sketchy. You're disabling them by going to about:addons, and clicking "disable" next to their name in the list? And they're re-enabled when you restart?

I stand mistaken. I tried to reproduce it again and the behavior has gone away.

Appears to be fixed in the latest Firefox update.
