When I start Firefox 30, my bookmarks toolbar is blank. I have to deselect it in View > toolbars then reselect it and they appear. Also my refresh button at the far right of the location bar has disappeared and all I see is a magnifying glass. Another issue I now have is that when I copy and paste the URL for any page into the location bar, this then triggers a Google search and doesnt go directly to the page associated with the URL. I have tried renaming the FF profile and uninstalling/reinstalling FF but this hasnt resolved. Any pointers to what my next step should be would be most welcome. Im using Windows 7 Professional SP1 32-bit

Hi Tora Bisu, Thanks for the reply, however this didnt help me because you didnt tell me where to find the setting "hide urls stop/reload button", and i couldnt find it myself. However I did resolve the issue myself by disabling addons one by one and reenabling them til I discovered the culprit. The culprit as i discovered was the Classic Theme Restorer, which has now been duly disabled and will not be used again.

The refresh button is in the URL Bar merged with the Stop button. If you're using classic theme restorer, you may have got rid of them, just un check "hide urls stop/reload button"

The CTR extension has setting for those buttons in its Options/Preferences that you can access via "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions".

Did you look at those?
