Hi bruce,

What are you actually looking for? On Windows 7 your options will be under Tools > Options. If you have the Firefox menu, you can hit Alt to temporarily enable the menu bar.

Your System details say Linux. Your say you are on Windows 7 though, correct?

In Windows you need Options or the Tools > Options menu item.
