How do I break the linkage between different windows?
I can NOT imagine what someone was thinking, but now if I suppress the Menu bar, or the bookmarks toolbar in one window, every other open browser window loses them as well. This is not acceptable. How do I change back to 'what you do in one window has no effect on any other window'?

That's always been the case in Firefox. Keep in mind that webpages that suppress or hide toolbars are a different situation; there is code which can be used to display only the toolbars that the web developer wants viewers of his pages to see.
Slightly off-topic.
Firefox users can set these preferences to prohibit webpages from suppressing toolbars from being displayed.
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.directories", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.personalbar", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar", true); text text
No, it has NOT always been that way. The way it used to be was that if I had multiple Firefox windows open, and I unchecked "Menu Bar" or "Bookmarks Toolbar" in one window, the other windows then open weren't affected. Does anyone know how to restore that state?
No solution but I can confirm that with Firefox 28 a change at one open Firefox window (for example hide the menu-bar) is not changed in another open Firefox window (menu-bar is still there).
Sorry if I was mistaken about that being changed in Firefox 29, I typically have multiple Profiles running and don't usually have multiple windows of the same process opened up.
