Which version of Firefox do you have?

You posted with a Firefox 2.0.0.12 user agent, your post thread shows Firefox 2.0.0.12 in the system details, but in this thread you posted that you have Firefox 3.6

See Find what version of Firefox you are using and Web sites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser

  • If, on Windows, in Firefox 3.6 the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down or press F10, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
  • Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click on it to make that permanent. See Restore the Menu bar in Firefox).
  • Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
  • If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
  • If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to one of the toolbars.
  • If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button
