Panos, it wasn't just the tools palette, there was no IDE at all. There
were no menus except for the default OS X one that allowed me to quit.
Nothing else loaded, so no message box, tools, keyboard shortcuts, etc. It
acted like the startup aborted very early in the process. But the odd thing
was that the start center did appear and when it tried to lead me through
the tutorial it pointed to places on screen where the nonexistent menus
would have been. I was able to open my own stack only by dropping it on the
dock since there was no File menu to use. But without any menus, app or
project browsers, or tools I couldn't actually do anything with it. The
entire IDE was missing.
I do still have an old pre-7 prefs file in the same folder as the new one,
since I need to open LC 6 occasionally. It may be that LC 9 couldn't read
or update it so it just gave up.
I only have one monitor, and the startup didn't get far enough to load any
plugins.

Hi Jacque,
I have never seen the Tools palette disappearing after deleting my Prefs.
Could it be the case that it appeared, but offscreen? Have you connected a
secondary monitor? Are you using any Plugins?
Anyway, I am glad the problem is solved now. If you see that again could
you please file a bug report?
BTW, I remember in the past, all of a sudden I could not launch *any*
version of LiveCode. I tried to delete my Prefs but this did not help.
What fixed the problem was deleting the folder /Users/panos/Libarary/Saved
Application State/com.runrev.livecode.savedState/
Best,
Panos

Okay, restoring prefs from yesterday worked. Major panic averted.
But there is something very wrong with a clean startup.

Panos, I need to get this running. I've tried launching dp5 with the
same results. If I restore my old prefs, I can't set breakpoints but I
do get the IDE to load. If I let LC make new prefs, I get no IDE at all
and my only option is to quit.

Suddenly I have lost the ability to set breakpoints. Red-dot breakpoints
are dimmed as though the script has not been compiled (it has, several
times.) Hard-coded "breakpoint" commands to not trigger either. I am not
able to debug.
Things were going along well until I allowed remote debugging. That
worked
for a while, then I got several crashes in a row, and now I can't set
breakpoints.
I have retarted LC several times, reloaded the stack, etc. LC 9 dp 6.
I need a quick solution. Real quick.
