I did a "manage bookmarks" and from the tools menu, I exported them. This is also a handy way of sharing them between machines. Then, I stopped mozilla, removed .mozilla, restarted mozilla and from the manage option I imported the old bookmarks. This added a new personal toolbar, which isn't real. I opened and moved each of the folders from the old one into the real personal toolbar and deleted what was left of the one I had just imported. I had one stick around last night and kill -9 or -15 wouldn't work. I finally resorted to a "killall mozilla-bin" and it disappeared.
