Where did the "wrench" go for tools? (Win 7 + Firefox 9.01) Disappeared with upgrade

more options

The wrench is no longer on the taskbar. And,yes, the screen is maximized. I have bookmarks, "house/home" and arrow to list all tabs, but that's it. I tried upgrading again and still no tools wrench.

Unless you were using a 3rd party Theme for Firefox there is no "wrench" for Tools in Firefox. The Task Bar is part of the Windows Desktop, not part of Firefox. The top toolbar in Firefox, with File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help is the Menu Bar. When the Menu Bar is hidden, the orange Firefox button show in it's place. You can hit the Alt key to temporarily access the Menu Bar, when the Firefox button is showing.

Options in Firefox can be accessed like this:
Tools > Options or Firefox button > Options -> Options
