I just got a new hard drive and installed FF 12 and transferred my profile. My profile was from FF 11 and I just hadn't gotten around to updating. My profile and everything works fine so far, but every time I start FF the tabbar is not there. I must manually go under view and check tabbar each and every time, even though the option "always show tabbar" is checked under tools>options>tabs.

I figured it out! I accidentally had it set to not remember any history as shown here:

I fixed it and now everything works fine. Thank you for responding!

Thanks, that worked. But now all my saved usernames and passwords are no longer automatically filled in like before. Instead now I must double click the username box to get the drop down menu of my saved username to show, then click it. How do I change it back?
