I used to have a menu bar at the top of my screen with 'Bookmarks' ,'History', etc. and one underneath with shortcuts to regular sites I use. These have disappeared, but when I follow Mozilla's instructions to press the three lines and go to customise and then choose Menu Bar the three I used to have are ticked as if they should be there. How do I get them back?

Press Alt or F10 to restore the menu bar. Then View (Alt-v) - Toolbars Check the items you need.

Use Customize to add or remove toolbar items.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).

When you are in Full Screen mode, hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. You can use one of these to leave Full Screen mode:

  • click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave Full Screen mode
  • click the Full Screen button in the "3-bar" menu button drop-down list
  • right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode"
  • press the F11 key
