Hi,

I recently spent hours troubleshooting, reinstalling the browser + addons, editing profiles + themes, etc. and isolated the problem to the Firefox Color addon (v2.1.7).

When using the following custom theme the bookmarks toolbar does not show up, and the Extensions or Themes sections under settings do not work. Sync does not seem to work correctly too.

I believe this only started happening recently (within the past updates on or before 99.0.1).

Does anyone know if there's a bug in the recent Firefox update or if something else is the issue?

Thanks, HC

So apparently, this issue might be more systemic.

I had the problem pop up again but this time I went into about:profiles, restarted Firefox in safe mode, then disabled the Video DownloadHelper extension, relaunched Firefox and it was OK.

It seems very likely that there's something going on with loading/using extensions in the recent Firefox version(s).

You could check the extension page on the add-ons site to see whether any issue has been reported.
