After CTRL+N for new window, bookmarks toolbar disappears on the new window

When I already have a fully, correctly functioning window with tabs running, with the Bookmarks Toolbar visible, and then I use CTRL+N to open a new window, the 2nd window does not show the Bookmarks Toolbar.

When I go to View > ToolBars, the Bookmarks Toolbar show a check. It is not there in the new window, but it in the first window. Seems like a glitch caused by CTRL+N?

This is repeatable, and has happened many times. I have 12.0 but this happened with other Firefox versions as well.

In safe mode, the toolbar wasn't visible but I checked "View Bookmarks ToolBar" over on the right below the search window, and now when I run Firefox in normal mode, the behavior has stopped.

I tried opening several new windows, with lots of tabs in the very first one, and the Bookmarks ToolBar is now showing up when it is supposed to.

Thanks for the suggestion. I guess it is solved now?

You can also check for problems with the localstore.rdf file.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

I replaced my localstore.rdf; everything seems fine afterwards. But as above after starting in safe mode and enabling the Toolbar, I haven't been able to repeat the behavior.

I didn't know about localstore.rdf though I've been using FF for a long time. So I'll watch for the behavior again and try that if it shows up. Thanks for all the help.
