This line seems to be missing from the top of my Firefox screen. I don't know what I hit to make it disappear, nor what to do to get it to come back, but I want it back. The F11 key does not do it.

Chosen solution

Hit the Alt key to show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark.

That did the trick, thanks to the-edmeister. You rock (in a geeky sort of way).
