Tabs, toolbars and everything else gone
Restarted my computer and Firefox tonight. My navigation toolbar in FF is gone, replaced by a little orange rectangle in the upper left corner of my FF window. I can't open new tabs - the orange rectangle insinuates that this is possible, but it actually isn't, as I clicked it several times and no new tabs appeared. All of my tabs are gone. I tried to close one window and FF told me that I had 20 tabs open, none of which are visible. Addresses entered into the address bar do nothing - the page stays the same and does not redirect me.
Firefox is now effectively non-functional. Please advise.

Okay, I think I have it figured out now. Thank you both for your help.

Please update to the current Firefox 30 release.

The Firefox version that you currently run is no longer supported with security updates.
- It is important to update Firefox and add-ons to the latest version to get all security fixes.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, ??acs to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

All right, that brings my tabs back and lets me bring back the menu toolbar.
I have no idea what you're talking about re: the firewall and permissions, sorry.
How do I restore my add-ons from here?
Once see your Add-on's menu, if its is disable means...enable it
or
Add-ons missed means...again you have to download !
Thanks ! Hav a nice day !
