My Tool Bar keeps changing, one minute I'll have features and not the next. URLs don't show in the Address Bar -- all of this started after the last up-date

Since the most recent up-date of Firefox I've had buttons on the tool bar vanish and then return when I change web sites, etc. Too, the address bar does not show URLs a lot of time, especially after a search and I click to the link. I have to look under page properties to find the web address in order to link to pages later or even book mark them.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.


Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I noticed similar behavior on what I had thought to be modified pop-up windows. But I accidentally created a new window (tab tearing) and the new window did not have menu bar or tabs bar, but if I selected that window then it showed all toolbars and the original window the reduced set and can keep switching between the two to keep reversing which is which. Needless to say I can't duplicate it again. The location showed "Go to web" instead of the location on the new window, reload did not fix that, but creating a new tab did fix that upon return to the tab.
