No bookmarks appear in the boomarks bar

Hello.

I decided to try Australis (again). So I updated my 28.0 Firefox to the newest one (32.0.3). But the bookmarks bar show none of my bookmarks. When I hit Control + B, the sidebar shows all of them: they are here, but the bookmarks bar shows none (and, yes, there are bookmarks in the "bookmarks bar" folder).

But it's not actually blank. Instead, it shows the "bookmarks bar" element itself (not it's contents). I have made a screenshot, but there is no field to upload it now, so I'll submit it right after posting this.

I tried removing and restoring the "bookmarks bar" element one sees when customizing, but that didn't solve it.

Solved.

In fact what had happened is that that element was located in the addon bar on the previous version (28.0). So I had to install the addon called "The Addon Bar (Restored)" to be able to move that element back to it's place. But it was only after uninstalling the addon (and restarting Firefox) that the bookmarks reappeared.

Here's a screenshot.

(How come I can't upload a screenshot when first posting a question? It doesn't make much sense to me...)
