I can't make the navigation bar go away and stay away.

I don't need the navigation bar--what's it for, anyway? I had it turned off, but in trying to customize Foxytunes (well, trying to drag & drop it where I want--which also won't work), I turned it on. I turned it back off, but every time I close Firefox and open it again, it's back. I've turned it off both from the right click 'customize' menu and from the option under the View tab. Any help or suggestions would be very greatly appreciated.

You might want to reset your preferences to see if that helps:

Delete localstore.rdf or rename the file to localstore.rdf.sav in the Profile Folder to test if the file is corrupted.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
(caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)

Note:
Deleting the file localstore.rdf will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.
You can rename "localstore.rdf" to "localstore.rdf.sav" to test if that solves it.
Then you can restore the customization by copying "localstore.rdf.sav" to "localstore.rdf" if it didn't work.
