Find bar does not come up using either Ctrl-F or Edit menu
My Find bar isn't coming up, whether I use Ctrl-F or click on Edit--Find. How can I get it back?
This happened
Not sure how often
== just today
Chosen solution
I found the solution. Apparently, the window was minimized, but large enough to make me think it was full size. Once I maximized the screen, the Find menu appeared.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."
If not, see this: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+theme...

It is possible that the screen is too high and that the status bar and scroll bar fall off at the bottom.
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window. See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resizing_oversize_window
