firefox on my old computer had the box with "http//www." where I could type-in a website address and go directly to the site. this is not on the Mozilla Firefox page when I bring it up. Also on the old computer when I went to the internet through Firefox, MSN page came up on screen. This does not happen now with this new Firefox on my new computer - how come?

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"

  • If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
  • If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
  • If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.
