THE MENU BAR BELOW THE MOZILLA MASTHEAD IS GONE. CANNOT GO BACK TO PREVIOUS PAGE NOR FORWARD. ITEMS SUCH AS "VIEW", "TOOLS" ETC ARE GONE. HOW DO I GET IT BACK?

Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.

Hit the Alt key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark.
The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.
