I have to restore my menu bar everytime I start up Firefox since the upgrade?
Every since my recent upgrade of Firefox to 3.6.8, every time when I start up Firefox, my Bookmarks Toolbar only have 2 items on the list and no items lists for rest of my regular bookmarks.
I have to go through restoring my bookmarks Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Restore Bookmarks every time I start up my browser. It is a nuisance to go through all that every single time I start up my browser.
The browser no longer opens the PDFs any more, and asks if I wish to open an external application. If I choose yes, and I've selected my regular Acrobat Reader Pro 7.0, nothing happens.
Can someone help me with this issue please?

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in safe mode (don't forget to select Disable all add-ons when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See this article for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and this one for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
