Bookmark bar disappears on startup with open menu button doing nothing
I upgraded my firefox to v.35 then on every start-up, bookmark bar shows bo bookmarks.If i uncheck and re-check the bookmark toolbar option on view>Toolbar; then all the bookmarks appear,but there's no icon.(For example: Facebook's bookmark doesn't the facebook logo) Also if i click the open menu button(above bookmark bar,on the right), it does nothing. the menu doesn't appear. Moreover, i can't use my session manager extension. When i click options to restore last session, it does nothing. I tried uninstalling, re-installing and downgrading to v.33 and v.32 Now i need professional help.What can i do?

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
