When I open Add-ons from the Tools menu all my toolbars become hidden. The only thing showing at the top is the menu bar. The only way I have found to get the toolbars back is to close Firefox and reopen it. Is this normal?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Addons opens as as a tabbed window:

Firefox changed it to a tab, so that is the new normal. When you close the addons window you should be back to what you had before. You can't do some things when you are in the addons


You can make Firefox 6.0 look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 6.0, look like 3.6). Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.

Ok. I now notice that it opens as a tabbed window even though I have tabs turned off. I do not remember seeing a tab at the top of the Add-ons window before. I have been trying different themes. Could a theme cause this?

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).
