Internet Explorer has a MENU bar at the top of the page which list "FILE", "TOOLS", "FAVORITES", etc. This menu bar makes navigation through Internet Explorer much easier. This menu bar is missing from Firefox and I would like to have it appear in Firefox. How do I accomplish this?

Hey cyberbill1948,

This is actually really easy. To temporarily enable these items, just hit the Alt key. If you want them there full time, hit Alt then go to View > Toolbars and enable the Menu bar and the Bookmarks toolbar.

Hopefully this helps!
