When I add a new toolbar it disappears when I restart, it is even removed from the list of toolbars. How do I get it back without redoing it every time I start Firefox?

The problem is basically explained in the question. I have re-created a new toolbar almost every day. I had created it in an older version of Firefox and never had any problems until Firefox 4.

I had followed the instructions for this before asking my question. It didn't work.

If that new toolbar isn't empty then it should reappear after closing and restarting Firefox. All customization data is stored in the file localstore.rdf.

Is Firefox creating a new file localstore.rdf ?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See:

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
