When I opened the Firefox browser profile I got a page asking if i wanted to try a different type of firefox browser that specializes in color schemes and because there was no way to opt out of it I clicked through the process by clicking on "skip this step" multiple times. After doing this my firefox main toolbar with my bookmarks on it reappeared with generic buttons relating to using firefox and my buttons that i put on the toolbar are now gone.
how do I restore my toolbar back to the way i had it before?
how do i prevent this BS from happening in the future? I dont and never will want a color scheme changer type of deal. if i did i would have searched for an extension/add-on that does that type of thing. And i dont want firefox resetting my toolbar without my permission to do so.

Use menu path Help->More Troubleshooting information->Scroll down to the "about:profiles" entry and click on that to see the list of profiles present on that machine. What is listed there?

Sounds like you opted in to use a colorways theme.
You can select your previous theme (system/light/dark) in "Add-ons -> Themes".

Speaking of that, look at the crap I went through before I realized just what was happening...
Private windows open in some sort of "Dark" mode

Note that for PB mode you can set browser.theme.dark-private-windows = false on about:config.
