When I switched to Firefox 4 I no longer have the file, edit, etc. functions anywhere. I can't or don't know how to copy and paste websites to emails for instance without the edit functions.

Chosen solution

It sounds like you have the menu bar hidden. If the Firefox button (orange one - top left corner) is visible - click it and go to options and tick menu bar.

Oh thank you MattMoz, that was so simple. Firefox 4 is awesome.

You can also find toolbar buttons for Copy, Paste, and Cut in the toolbar palette and drag them on a toolbar.

Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

Thanks Cor-el. I haven't tried that yet but I bookmarked it.

I have checked the toolbar buttons and have MENU ticked, I went to the customize toolbar thing and added (by drag and drop) the cut copy and paste and other buttons I cant find now, and they showed up at first, then they disappeared. The top section seems terribly narrow now and I cant find any way to add the buttons underneath where they used to be...help!

Did you check that all toolbars are visible?

You can also check for problems with the file localstore.rdf that stores the toolbar customization data.
