Description
When jQuery is inserted inside an XUL overlay of chrome://browser/content/browser.xul, the main Firefox XUL window, all changes to the Firefox toolbars are not visible. Disabling jQuery shows these changes again.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Make changes to a Firefox toolbar, such as changing the order of buttons.
2. Install the attached sample add-on, which is a simple XUL browser.xul overlay with jQuery 1.5.
3. Restart Firefox. Notice that the changes to the toolbars you made in step 1 are reset.
4. Uninstall the sample add-on ("jQuery Test").
5. Restart Firefox again. The changes are now visible.

It would be nice if you could keep the link to that firefox add-on active for reference in the future when we decide to tackle this problem.
