The location bar has disappeared from the top of any tab that I open. How can I get it back?

The location bar has disappeared from the top of any tab I open, so there is nowhere to type in a web address. Could I have accidentally made this happen? How do I get it back?

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Just to be clear, it's not below the tab bar either? (That's the new style in Firefox 4 and 5.)

To hide or show toolbars, you can use the old View menu.

If you have the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key to temporarily display the classic menu bar.

View menu > Toolbars > check Navigation Toolbar

If you are viewing the navigation toolbar but it's incomplete or corrupted, you can reset your toolbars.

View menu > Toolbars > Customize

In the large dialog with the icons, toward the bottom, click Restore Default Set.

Does any of that help?

Hi jscher2000, thanks very much for that. Checking 'Navigation Toolbar' has displayed the bar again. Your help is greatly appreciated.
