I can no longer get my address bar, back or foward buttons, tool bar, menu bar or anything else. How can I restore?
When I open Firefox I do not get an address bar only Google comes up. I don't get a back or forward button nor do I get the tool bar or menu bar. There is no default button. I read the forum but I can not make any corrections because I don't have a tool bar displayed. I am using 3.6. When I turn off my computer and then turn it back on, the default settings still do not return.

- Try deleting Firefox settings in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
- If that does not help, try deleting Firefox settings in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and reinstalling Firefox.
It is a long while since I tried Google Toolbar, I am not sure what it changes. But I would not expect it to totally remove your options to use the ordinary toolbars.
■ Try
- press the alt key on the keyboard, that may return the menu bar
- once you have the menubar View -> Toolbars -> and select which you need
- you may also use View-> Toolbars -> Customise and drag items back or use the restore default set option.
- right clicking on the toolbars also gets you to the customise and show toolbars options
■ have a look at Navigation buttons like back, home, bookmarks and reload are missing
PS
I hope you do not need to resort to editing registry settings, the firefox 'dragons' in prefs are user friendly compared with Windows registry. Messing up firefox prefs only really affects firefox normally; whereas errors in a registry edit may prevent you from even booting the computer.
