Why does the fire fox page change, sometimes it is just an orange fire fox button on the top left that opens a panel with all the things listed in it and then it sometimes has a bar across the top that says File, Edit, View, History, bookmarks, tools, Help? I barely get used to using one type of set up and then it changes to the other without me doing anything??

"... bar across the top that says File, Edit, View, History ..."

That is called the Menu Bar. When the Menu Bar is de-selected or hidden, the orange Firefox button appears. When the Firefox button is showing, you can hit the Alt key to temporarily show the Menu Bar so you can access those menu. Or you can use the orange Firefox button to access a truncated list of menu items.

Whether the Menu Bar is is showing all the time or it is hidden shouldn't change all by itself, the user controls what the state of the Menu Bar is set for.
