Everything worked fine for over a year on Mozilla firefox, suddenly I have no navigation or tool bar. If I press the alt key the bar appears and I am able to click on one command and then the bar disapears again. I followed the instructions online and clicked on the restore default bar, to no avail. It is a royal pain to have to alt key to open a new tab from the bookmarks everytime. If I can't figure it out I will have to stop using firefox which until now I was in love with. Please Help

After pressing Alt, in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on "Menu Bar" in the list of toolbars. That should make it permanently display.
