I was trying to get rid of the lines at the top of my firefox screen, and I guess I deleted one I shouldn't have. Now, there is no url line for me to type in; no gold star at the end of the line, and no "down arrow" to bring up my recent address selections.

Sounds that you did hide the Navigation Toolbar.

Check that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:

  • Firefox menu button > Options
  • "View > Toolbars" (press F10 to display a hidden menu bar)

Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:

  • Firefox menu button > Options
  • View > Toolbars (press F10 to make the menu bar show)
  • Right-click empty toolbar area
  • Check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
  • If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up
