So a day or two ago I tried out the multiplayer demo for Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. I clicked on a server, but it was taking forever so I decided to close the program. Alas, the Task Manager was unable to close it so I ended up having to restart the computer.
After I restarted, I went into Firefox which, for some odd reason, looked and acted quite different.
1. When I opened it, it opened into a window, not full screen like it normally does
2. The bookmark toolbar (which I never use) is present below the navigation toolbar
3. The status bar (which I ALSO never use) is present at the bottom of the screen.
4. Also, it won't let me bookmark pages
Every time I start Firefox I get rid of the toolbars and resize the window to full screen but when I quit and start Firefox again, the toolbars are back and it goes into windowed mode. So my question is: Is there something I can do to save the way Firefox looks (getting rid of the toolbars) whenever I re-open Firefox and let me bookmark things?
What I have tried (nothing has worked)
1. Scanned for Viruses and Spyware
2. Reinstalled Firefox
3. Uninstalled any additional toolbars in Add/Remove Programs

Have you tried starting Firefox with the safe mode switch, and creating a new profile?

By new profile, you mean account right? And no I haven't tried either of those, but I can check to see if it happens in one of the other accounts.

Oh and for some reason, on all the other accounts, it opens up normally without the toolbars in a full screen.

I have similar problems, only instead of bookmarks it's the history and the search bar. but mine also comes out samller,
I have found a problem in my netframe and I think that's the problem, but I can't fix it, maybe you have the same problem,???

This may sound a little weird, but all of a sudden, FF went back to normal. I have no clue why. It opens full screen without any of the toolbars and I can bookmark pages again. I guess this means I don't really need any help anymore, but thanks to those who gave advice.

Well good luck with finding out what's wrong. Unfortunately, I really don't have any advice to give. Maybe the stroke of luck I had will come to you :)
