Where has the menu gone from the top-left of the window?

In the latest Firefox (I can't tell what version, there's no Help icon or About entry anywhere I can find) the menu that used to sit in the top-left of the window has now gone. Some add-ons used to add menu entries there. Since you removed it, now I can't use those add-ons. How do I access these menu items now?

Chosen solution

For the equivalent of the Firefox button, click the ≡ Menu Button near the top right corner of the window.

For the Help menu, click the ≡ Menu Button, then the Question Mark icon near the bottom right of the panel that opens. You can also press Alt+H to bring up the Help menu on the menu bar.

For add-on icons, right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.

Thank you for this information. I had found the items from the old menu, but obviously not the new ones from add-ons. Thanks to your answer I have been able to add it back, and although I'm a bit unhappy that something that worked just fine was changed (seems to be the way everything goes these days!), at least I can still use my favourite add-on. I am happy once again :)
