Can't see the Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, History...Help)? Hold down the key ( key in OSX) and press the following letters in this exact order: V T M The Menu Bar should now be displayed permanently, unless you turn it off again (View > Toolbars). Turning the Menu Bar on and off is a new feature in version 3.6. See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Menu+bar+is+missing

See other Toolbars under View > Toolbars. Clicking on one of them will place a check mark (display) or remove the check mark (not displayed).

To display the Status Bar, View, then click Status bar to place a check mark (display) or remove the check mark (not displayed).

I too have lost my tool bar. I'm using a PC laptop and a Mac OSX and can't find my tool bar, history, bookmarks and files in the tool bar on either computer. Is it Yahoo that is screwing up or Firefox? Can't figure it out! Now using Safari. Had another problem with Yahoo Sports articles, when I clicked on a headline under sports I keep getting the message"fail" and could not read the entire article. All this happening in the past two weeks.
