It looks like I might have just fixed it myself, by carrying out the following procedure:
1. Uninstall Firefox using the Ubuntu Software Centre 2. Delete the folder /home/(Home)/.mozilla 3. Install Firefox using the Ubuntu Software Centre 4. Reconfigure Firefox setup. I've noticed a couple of minor changes (eg. one or two missing add-ons, and I had to fix my Bookmarks Menu a little bit) but the main thing is that my Bookmarks Toolbar now appears as it is supposed to, and my Pinned Tabs don't disappear every time that I close the browser. It's a pain in the neck that I have to set up all my Search Engines yet again. I hope it doesn't go bad again, because there are certain things about the presentation of some websites within Firefox to other browsers, like Google Chromium and Google Chrome, and it gives me functionality that I can't get in Epiphany. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1252905 Title: Pinned tabs and bookmarks toolbar have disappeared Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Up until 19 November 2013, my Firefox was configured with 4 pinned tabs. For some reason. when I started Firefox yesterday, Firefox had no pinned tabs, and in addition to that, all bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar had disappeared, despite the fact that View was set to show the Bookmarks Toolbar. What may be relevant is that shortly beforehand, I had clicked on Firefox in my Launcher to launch Firefox, and it didn't launch. I then opened the System Monitor and closed the running Firefox processes. I was then able to launch Firefox. What also might be relevant is that I am able to see my bookmarks (in my Bookmarks Toolbar) if I: 1. Firefox>View>Toolbars>Bookmarks Toolbar (to deselect) 2. Firefox>View>Toolbars>Bookmarks Toolbar (to select) 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu Ubuntu 13.04 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center firefox 25.0+build3-0ubuntu0.13.04.1 3) What you expected to happen Firefox opened normally with all my pinned tabs and with the Bookmarks Toolbar. 4) What happened instead Firefox opened without my pinned tabs and without showing the bookmarks I have saved to my Bookmarks Toolbar.
