The main menu bar at the top of Firefox 3.5 is hidden. I can bring it up using Alt-T but can't keep it showing. Does not seem to be an option in the "Options" menu under "Tools"

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== Today, after I installed a Jave Runtime update

In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar. Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar temporarily. Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).
