My drop down menu that has File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Yahoo, Tools, and Help isn't working, i can't even print from this browser. The toolbar that comes with the installation of mozilla firefox isn't working either.

Chosen solution

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

In Firefox 4 and later Safe mode disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.

YES!! Thank you, it is working now. However, my bookmarks still aren't, the bookmarks only work if i right click on the mouse button and choose the "open in a new window" option, would you know how to solve that problem? Thank you so very much for your help.

You are AMAZING!!! Thank you so much, all of your suggestions worked!! I now have everything back working as it should. Well, except for one thing, i used to be able to open up pandora in firefox but now its saying something about installing newer version of flash player, which i did, but pandora still isn't working. However, pandora will work in IE.

There may be other plugins interfering.
You can try a test and only leave the flash plugin enabled to see if that works.
