I see a couple of other similar questions...without answers, so thought I'd post the question to see if anyone has figured it out.

I DO NOT want the Add-on bar at the bottom of my browser window...so why do I have to have it? Firefox does such a wonderful job in all other regards...I don't understand why it has to add this hideous bar when it's not wanted...or needed.

Yes, I have two add-ons, but they both have an icon in the nav bar next to the URL window...so why should I want the same two icons in this bar? Thanks for any help.

The extension I didn't reinstall was the one for Instapaper. Oddly, of the four extensions I still use, 1Password, Feedly, X-Notifier, and Live Notifier, only three have icons and they are all three in the Nav bar. Of those three, 1Password and X-Notifier are also in the Add-on bar if I activate it. But they were certainly not the problem as the Add-on bar is working fine now.

So, I think it had to be the Instapaper extension as all seems just fine now.

Ctrl+/ does nothing here.

I removed all my add-ons, then reinstalled all but one I thought might be the culprit. Not sure if it is, but so far it's been about an hour and the dreaded Add-on bar hasn't appeared at the bottom of Firefox. Crossing my fingers.

Maybe a reset is needed, then after that reinstall all your extenstions.

Can you tell us Which add-on you didn't install (enable)?

This is likely caused by an extension that places content on the Add-ons bar and in such a case the Add-ons bar is displayed automatically if this data is updated or otherwise refreshed to make you aware of this.

I don't need a restart...I just installed Firefox for the first time yesterday :-)
