I just got a new computer and got changed to windows 8, and the guy set it up with internet explorer when I was accustomed to using firefox. My son put it on firefox, but I can't find the firefox tab with access to edit, print, print preview, etc. , except when I have the firefox box on three quarters of the screen, which is too small. How do I get it to fill up the screen and still give me the little box so I can print? Please don't answer with an avalanche of gibberish, because my computer understanding is negligible.

Hi Senyax, how are you enlarging Firefox when you want it larger? These will give you different results:

(1) Maximize the window (middle button between _ and X)

You should still be able to see the top bar of the window with the orange Firefox button. If you can't see any of it, one of your Firefox settings files might be corrupted.

(2) Full screen (F11 key or orange Firefox button > Full Screen)

By default, nothing other than the website shows in full screen mode. Although you can have the tab bar and toolbar display (slide your mouse to the top of the screen and right-click a blank area of the tab bar, then uncheck "Hide Toolbars"), you cannot use the orange Firefox menu button in this mode.
