I cannot access my gmail. I follow the instructions to click on the menu and then on settings, but there is not a setting icon.

I have a new computer. I cannot access some of my sites, such as gmail. The instructions that I keep getting are to click on the chrome menu and then select settings. When I click on the menu, I cannot find an icon for settings. I have tried everything I can think of to no avail. Nothing works!

What happens if you try to open https://mail.google.com/ ? Do you get a "page not found" error, or a security certificate error, etc.?

Firefox has a "3-bar" menu similar to Google Chrome, and you should find Options there, but if you have instructions for the Chrome settings page, they aren't going to match Firefox's Options dialog...

Thank you for trying to help. I have no problem accessing Google, and you are probably right about the menu. Unfortunately, it is the only one I can find. However, my brilliant husband showed me how to use Internet Explorer to access my gmail, so I will just not bother with Firefox for that operation. Thanks, again.
