I am experiencing similar issues. In my case, some toolbars (i.e. the
toolbar created by the web developer addon, a custom toolbar i have
created) disappear when the privacy extension is enabled.

I am I am quite sure the problem is related with the privacy extension
because I did some test starting IceCat in safe mode and also with a
fresh profile, and the problem happened only enabling the privacy
extension.

I do not know if the problems are due to a conflict between the addons
or to something else, i.e. this known issue:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1081300/jqmodal-and-nyromodal-will-not-work-w-jquery-1-3-2-and-firefox-toolbar-extension

Somewhere I also read that similar problems are not with other
operating environments (mine is a gNewSense 2.3 system).

Waiting for a solution, I have disabled the privacy extension at this
moment :-(
