For me the problem was Microsoft .Net Framework Assistant that I disabled as it can’t be uninstalled.

Favicon Picker 3 was causing the problem for me. I uninstalled it and, viola, the Web Developer Toolbar was back.

Thank you, thank you, thank you – I blew about a month on this one until it bugged me so bad I googled it – I needed to restore default set on the toolbar too – but man – I am so happy. Thank you

Hey… I had the same problem… it was a problem with ThinkVantage password manager, I uninstalled that software from my machine but the addon was still there making noise… just disabled it and presto…

Yes, like Ryan said… “one month of pain”, although in my case is probably more than a month…

Another fix I found while searching on google is to right-click on Web Developer toolbar and go to “Customize”… once you’re in, just click on the “Restore Default Set” button… and voila!

I have also uninstalled Skype Extension just to make sure… I had it disabled anyway…

Cheers,

I had the same issue, but uninstalling Skype didn’t completely fix it for me. I used DerrickE solution @ http://chrispederick.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=2238 (customizing the toolbar and restoring the default set) and my beloved toolbar is back. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks. Yours was the first to come up in google. It was very upsetting this morning trying to work on a design and find my toolbar missing. I tried enabling and disabling and was at a loss as to why it would not show up on the toolbars menu. It’s amazing you traced it to the Skype extension, which I find annoying anyway.
