The top tab bar is not shown in FF76 unless I move my mouse to the top of the screen.

The bottom bar that displays all open applications is gone. It never appears. Even if the mouse has is moved to be over the bottom of the screen.

See attached.

Hi vince.grimaldi, it sounds like browser "Full Screen" view. Unlike the full screen that can be triggered by web pages and particularly video players, the Esc key doesn't cancel that.

The F11 key triggers and cancels full screen view, so try that first. Otherwise, when you slide the mouse pointer to the top of the screen and the toolbars roll down, you can right-click a blank area of the tabs bar (or the + button) and click Exit Full Screen Mode.

Was that it?

Hello vince.grimaldi, I think that reason is because your on full screen mode. Hit F11 and thats it! Tell me if you have any problems with that. Stay Safe!
