Firefox totally changed today.....

I'm running Firefox v6.0.2, which the update history tells me was installed back on Sept 7th. Everything was working perfectly yesterday. Today I come home, fire things up and Firefox is working very strangely. First, I had my toolbar organized the way I wanted it ... today it had reverted totally to stock and I had to reorganize it again. Second, somehow, my search engine was mysteriously changed from Google to Bing and I had to change it back to Google. Third, the progress bar for page loading is showing up in the middle of the left hand end of address bar ... even though the Status-4-Evar add-on Prefs says its supposed to be on the bottom of the address bar and full length - and I have no idea how to change this back. I don't know yet if there's other things changed, but this is enough to annoy me. Any one have any idea what's going on???

Solution for the position of the progress bar: uninstall and reinstall Status-4-Evar addon. That solved the problem for me.
