To save screen space I don't need the Bookmarks toolbar. I use All in One Sidebar to access Bookmarks. But Firefox insists on loading the Bookmarks toolbar no matter how many times I shut it down. Where can I permanently stop the Bookmarks toolbar from loading?

You can delete the localstore.rdf file with firefox closed (will reset toolbar layout).

SEE: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf and the Changes to toolbars and window sizes are not saved article.

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.

The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there. you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.

The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

Is there a setting in the All-In-One Sidebar that could be causing this?
