On June 21st I suddenly have no header at the top of Firefox that contained bookmarks, tools, settings. I also have no toolbar at the bottom of the screen that allows me to go back to Outlook or the other programs in the starter menu.

Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

The Status Bar has been replaced by the Add-ons bar that extensions can use for icons and information.

You can use this extension to get the Status Bar back:

Thanks for your reply. For some unknown reason, both the status bar and the toolbar reappeared yesterday afternoon. I assume that this problem had to do with the installation of Firefox 5 on the previous day. Thanks again.
