Firefox doesn't remember my toolbar preferences

Firefox Digər

I prefer to have a separate search field. This appears when I set it in preferences but Firefox keeps forgetting and defaulting to the 'magic bar'. The problem with this is that it takes up the majority of the top line of the tab, pushing useful notifications of into the >> zone.

Close Firefox. Open your file browser to this hidden location:

  • Mac: *~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles
  • Linux: *~/.mozilla/firefox/Profiles
  • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  • *C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  • Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data
    \Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

Search for the above files. Then rename or delete them. Restart Firefox.
