Subject says most of it. Using PR1.0 on XP Home. Every so often the bookmark toolbar, the 'new tab' button, and the 'tinyurl' button that is part of that extension just disappear. I can bring them back via 'customize toolbar' although the Tinyurl button does not appear as an option unless browser is restarted.

This hasn't happned prior to PR1.0. Maybe this is solved in the Release Candidate ?

I don't even bother with Extentions any more. I have seen more extentions bite the dust that I will sit and wait till a final version comes out.
I don't know about your problem, but all but the Prefbar extention have been incompatible, although the Extention Room says otherwise.

I don't know of any such bug, nor could I find one in the bug database. So I doubt that this is something the developers know to try to fix in 1.0. It appears that something is messing with files in your Firefox user profile; seemingly localstore.rdf. I've heard of such behaviour before but I've never known anyone who has troubles like these to isolate the cause. So all I can offer is the usual panacea: create a new profile. Of course in doing so you will lose your extensions among other things, but that's probably where the problem lies. Echoing Fulvio's sentiment: if bizarre stuff starts happening and you have extensions, it's probably not just a coincidence.

If you don't mind a more troublesome route you could try simply disabling all your extensions. Run with Firefox long enough to know whether that's the cause of your problem. If it is, start re-enabling them in groups to determine which extension(s) is the problem. If plan B step one fails, then we're back to plan A.

Anyway, the final version should be out early next week. I am finding that Firefox will disable for you any Extentions which are not compatible, and will prompt for a new profile, if necessary. Wait till next Tues or Wed.
