Customization for Firefox 29 not staying when closing and reopening firefox

The only add-on I have added in an attempt to get this new version of firefox to not look so much like a crowded mess is Classic Theme Restorer. My problem is when I click on the "new" customization tool and move say the bookmark star button or say one of my older add-ons like my email checker. I finally get it so this thing is at least passable to me now and close out of the new customize page. I can do that just fine, the problem I then have is if I close out of Firefox - say shut down the computer - then come back a bit later everything has been moved around.

Things I had on the left side of the screen are now on the right. Buttons are back to their default or just missing all together. Is this a glitch? Or am I just doing something wrong?

Hello,

This happens in safe mode?

Maybe you have a corrupted localstore.rdf, try unhide the hidden files and folder, go to you profile folder, close Firefox, delete or rename the lcalstore.rdf file and restart Firefox, then try make and changes and check if the problem still occur:

You can check for problems with preferences.

Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
