Use

If you turn of the Toolbar Menubar, on a Windows machine your firefox button should re-appear. Note pressing the keyboard alt key should temporarily restore the menubar if you want it.

Thanks, John...Im not very tech savvy so I think I didn't explain the problem well. Im hoping to get back the function that when you hit the down arrow - top left - it gives you tasks like view history/start private browsing etc. I have nothing that gives me view/toolbars/menubar option. I had it at one time and somehow I deleted it. = (

Thanks! Mark

As far as I know the standard option is to have either the firefox button or the menubar toolbar. Additionally if you press the keyboard Alt key then the menubar displays with the firefox button. (In windows just press the alt key,in linux hold the alt key down)

I have fixed the link in the last post,you should get something similar to this: https://support.mozilla.org/media/uploads/gallery/images/2011-10-06-03-46-34-2722c3.png when you click on the firefox button

If you want to display the menubar instead of the firefox button then use

  • Firefox button -> Options -> Toolbars -> [] Menubar
  • or right click an empty space on the tabs toollbar and select menubar in the dropdown

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.
