My husband was having trouble getting online. When he called for assistance, they sent him to my computer to access the router website. Once on the router website, he deleted all of my taskbars in order to view the webpage. I am having trouble restoring my taskbars so that I can continue to operate my computer as before.

This happened

Just once or twice

If you are missing the menu bar, with File Edit View..., see Restore the Menu bar in Firefox.

If you are missing the Windows task bar, which contains your Start button and open programs, see http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article01-101

If you are missing other toolbars, see http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Back+and+forward+or+other+toolbar+items+are+missing

Pamela, do you mean the "toolbars" at the top of Firefox which contain your bookmarks?

If that is so, it is easy to get them back. Here's how:

First, please check if you can see your Menu bar (it has items like File, Edit etc). If you cannot see your Menu bar, press the Alt key on your keyboard. While keeping it pressed, press the following keys in this order: V T M.

Now, assuming that you can see your Menu bar, to bring your bookmarks toolbar back, you can click on the View menu, then click on Toolbars and then select Bookmarks Toolbar

You can refer to the picture in this article to make it easier for you: Toolbars

I do not have the menu bar. I cannot go to view and retrieve the rest of my information.
