Hello Dawn.

Press ALT in your keyboard (or F10) to make the menu bar temporarily visible. If you want it to be permanently visible, go into View > Toolbars > Menu Bar, or rightclick the navigation toolbar (the stop button, for example) and select Menu Bar.

If this doesn't help, rightclick the navigation toolbar, select Customize... and click Restore Default Set. If it doesn't appear right away, try pressing ALT or F10. You can go into View > Toolbars > Menu Bar to make it permanently visible.

If none of this helps, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Try disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal.
