I can't get rid of a bookmark toolbar. There is an x in the corner but nothing happens when I click it. Nothing.

It's not the normal bookmark toolbar instead it's located on the left side of the browser. It's titled Bookmarks and it has an x in the corner but there is no content, no bookmarks.

What is it? And how do I get rid of it?

Can you use Ctrl+B to toggle the bookmarks sidebar?

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

Did you look at the mozillaZine knowledge base article and deleted the localstore.rdf file?

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