Why does my Bookmark Toolbar appear blank when I open Firefox 8.x but is filled after unclicking that toolbar in View and reclicking?
When I open Firefox, the Bookmark toolbar is there but a solid gray. I can restore the icons by clicking View, Toolbars, Bookmar to unselect the Bookmark toolbar, and then repeat the process to select the Bookmark toolbar. This is an annoyance repeated every time I open Firefox. How do I get out of this loop and just have the Toolbar appear populated with icons automatically?

Have you done any customization to the Bookmarks Toolbar? Like adding Spaces or a Flexible Space to the Bookmarks Toolbar.
Does an overflow chevron >> appear on the right-side of the Bookmarks Toolbar?
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.
(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)
- You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the Shft key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- Or use the Help menu item, click on Restart with Add-ons Disabled... while Firefox is running.
Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

I have not customized the Bookmarks Toolbar.
Sorry, but I had to close down and re-start to answer your next question.
There is no overflow chevron when I open Firefox but there is when I re-populate the Bookmarks toolbar.
