In Firefox v4.0.1, custom toolbars disappear from the toolbar menu when I open a "New Window".

1. I created a new toolbar in Customize... / Add New Toolbar. It's on the list of toolbars and opens up most times I start Firefox, but not always. I have tested it and it is completely random.

2. Same type of problem as 1., but everytime I use the 'New Window' feature the custom toolbar disappears from the toolbar menu and if I need to use it, I have to save all tabs as bookmark then close and reopen FireFox so I get my original window [where the toolbar shows up]. AARRRGHH.

I've been using FF for 7 years now, so I know enough to rule out corrupted localstore.rdf, new or updated add-ons (I could be wrong though, as I often am...). Has this come up with other users? Am I being cursed? [lol] any help would be appreciated.

cor-el,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.

You know, you're right. I should try everything, no matter how smart I think I am! It's been 3 days since I deleted the localstore.rdf file and so far so good.

Thanxs for the help

You're welcome

(editing your first post like you did the first time instead of answering in a new post doesn't make it easier to figure out what you did)
