Worth noting that I had removed all buttons but left in 2 separators on my custom toolbar and that was keeping the toolbar being displayed on every new start up.
So remove all content from your toolbar to have it disappear!

I had a toolbar whose only content was the output of an add-on (ForecastFox). I recently uninstalled the add-on which left no content on the toolbar, but the toolbar persisted.

I added some things (a few separators and some flexible space, I think–though I doubt it matters) and removed them, and THEN the toolbar disappeared.

Try removing the new icons you added. Maybe there wasn’t anything to see in the toolbar, but the action of adding/removing something new might be required to trigger the toolbar going away.

I was so glad when I found your sugestion, as I have this problem – but unfortunately it doesn't work for me.

And I have been looking all over the unwanted toolbar to see the seprator (mostly on the left hand on it), and even tried to put in som more icons and then try to see it – but there is no seperator or anything on the toolbar.

And it doesn't go away!

So is there any other way to get it out of the system (tweaking a file or something)?

It really is simple to remove your toolbar. Just go in under tools and then your addons and remove what tool bars you don't want anymore..simple!

You are a champ in recommending how to do it……You were the 5th Google hit and all hits before you were BOGUS.

You are #1 in my book…….I had nothing in my toolbar except for one 'separator' which appears as a small vertical line on left most side of the screen……As soon as I pulled it back it was GONE! CAPUT! VANISHED!

Thank you so much.

Thanks for this article, it was a great help. Even though at first it didn't work for me at all.
My toolbar kept coming back even though there were no buttons on it. Turns out I had a sneaky separator still sitting on it. Once that was removed, the bar was gone!

Well I wanted to say that after weeks of reading page after page of faq's on the Mozilla website on this matter. I decided to just type it in a search engine and well you know the results, I was lead here, followed the simple instructions and no more toolbar. Thanks again for your expertise in things we all want to know but just do not know who to ask. We know now, huh?

Had the same problem. I just saw the "separator solution", and I'm guessing that was my problem. What I did was to just hit the Restore Default Set button. Warning: "Default Set" means all custom Toolbars will be gone.
