Menu from button (top left corner) and autoscroll icon (middle mouse click-scroll) are dissapeared.

It's annoying, at least. For menu i need to use alt now (not often, so i can live with it), but autoscroll icon - really make me cry :)

In safe mode - everyting is working fine. But, when i disable all addons in normal mode (Firebug, Firesize, vKontakte and FXChrome theme) i see the same picture - it's just not helping.

Issue happaened after i installed new nVidia drivers.

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

You see the orange Firefox button when the menu bar is hidden

  • In current Firefox versions it is possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar.
  • Tap the Alt key or press the F10 key to bring up the menu bar temporarily.
  • Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or empty space on the tab bar to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

Don't worry, i'm programmer by myself, only in web-related apps...

I've managed to find this problem. It's in Advanced tab - Hardware Acceleration. When i've unchecked it everything wen just fine.

But, there is still a bug somewhere, so, just in case it helps:

As i told b4, problem happened after i've installed nVidia drivers. I'm using Asus N75SF laptop, with integrated nVidia GeForce GT 555M. Driver version which caused a problem: 8.17.12.8562, dated by: 15 October 2011

Try to disable hardware acceleration.
