bookmarks toolbar is blank on launch

[Ben Thornton]

Binary package hint: firefox

Upon first opening Firefox, my bookmarks toolbar is blank. When I open a new window, my bookmarks are visible in the toolbar there.

This is a recent bug. It was not present in the original release of Ubuntu 10.04, and I estimate it's been present for a few weeks. Looking at the Firefox release history, I'm thinking the bug was probably introduced in version 3.6.7 or 3.6.8.

I couldn't find Firefox's recent release history all in one place, so I'll document it here:
2010-01-21 3.6.0
2010-03-22 3.6.2
2010-04-01 3.6.3
2010-06-22 3.6.4
2010-06-26 3.6.6
2010-07-20 3.6.7
2010-07-23 3.6.8

3.6.1 and 3.6.5 were never publicly released.
