I am trying to allow cookies when on a service site that requires them for navigation. Instructions on Mozilla page says to click on menu icon, than choose options, then it gives other steps. My problem is that "Options" is not a choice after clicking the menu icon. How to I follow though to get the cookies setting adjusted?

The menu icon is the so-called "hamburger menu" icon in the top-right as displayed in the Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars article, and should include an Options entry. On Mac and Linux, this is called Preferences, and KB instructions adapt to the browser and OS used, so be sure to view the page in the proper OS, or use the drop-down on the left.

If the icon is not there, something is seriously wrong. You could also press Alt or F10 and choose Tools > Options, but the icon should still be there and cannot even be removed.
