Hi, Firefox is my usual browser and I have used it on many different OSs. The first thing I always do when installing Firefox on a new OS is ensure that the Menu Bar (File, Edit, View etc) is displayed permanently. Usually this is not a problem, but on Ubuntu 16.04 and Firefox 54.0 this is giving me problems.

Usually I would just press the Alt key to make to display the menu bar and then use the VIew > Toolbars > Menu Bar to display it permanently. (This approach worked on an installation of Xubuntu I have on another computer). However on Ubuntu pressing Alt brings up the HUD search menu. OK, so I went to Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts and turned off this shortcut, but now pressing Alt has no effect. It doesn't display the HUD and it doesn't display the Menu bar.

After googling around I determined that I could go to Open Menu > Customize > Show / Hide Toolbars > Menu Bar. This seemed like a winner, but when I open the Show / Hide Toolbars dropdown, it does not contain the Menu Bar as an option. The Bookmarks Toolbar is the only option here.

At this point I went back to my old Xubuntu (remember, also using Firefox 54.0) and had a look at Open Menu > Customize > Show / Hide Toolbars. In Xubuntu the Menu Bar is given as a selectable option. Why not in Ubuntu?

OK, so what do I have to do here?

(And full screen mode is not on)

OK, I have just discovered that if I hold down the Alt key, the Menu bar will appear. However, I still do not have the option to display it permanently using View > Toolbars > Menu Bar. As with the Show / Hide Toolbars dropdown menu in Menu > Customize, the only toolbar I can choose to display permanently is the Bookmarks Toolbar.

So while I am now able to call the Menu Bar, the actual problem still exists. How can I display it permanently?

Cancel everything. I am stupid, I am sorry. I have just realised that the Menu bar is displayed permanently, it is just that it is hidden by the window title. When you mouse over it appears.

This is why you do not have the option of displaying the menu bar permanently in Ubuntu. It is already displayed permanently, you just need to mouse over it to be able to see it.

Sorry everyone
