Apple/Firefox/File and Navigation toolbars disappear or won't function
willy-nilly the Apple/Firefox/File etc. toolbar won't function or disappears, as does the navigation toolbar. Of course with the navigation toolbar the home button disappears. This afternoon the Apple toolbar just refused to show dropdown menus. At one point a picture from an ebay search, on being enlarged, took up the whole screen and I had to quit by pressing command/option and esc (or control/option and esc, I'm not sure). Why does Mozilla do this. My Mac professional suggested that I get an earlier version of Firefox, which I tried to do, but every one of the earlier versions has been erased from the web.

You can try to delete the Firefox plist file.
Go to "Library > Preferences" and remove the plist file for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).
Try to repair the disk permissions:
You can create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
See:
1st option. Don't know what the library is, except for the complete history files, and that's not it. Deleting all the Firefox preferences doesn't even seem possible, so that's not what you meant either. I don't even know what the name of the top toolbar is, so I get lost in undefined terms.
2nd option referred me to a book
I printed out the pages on making a new profile and will try that when I have time.
thanks!
