I need help. Here is the list of toolbars that are installed on my (latest) Firefox: Wiki, Google and Care2. The thing is I closed them all (together with address bar and favorites bar). Now there is no way I can return the address bar (or any other of the above listed bars for that matter), neither by clicking a right or left click on any place of the area, neither can i find any option to poen in a firefox folder, there is just the blue track on top and tabs list. (I'm posting this via IE). Thank you for your time and a kind help, N.

Can't see the Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)? Turning the Menu Bar on and off is a new feature in version 3.6. (Linux & OSX see: Restore the Menu bar in Firefox ) Windows Method 1. Hold down the Alt key and press the following letters in this exact order: V T M Windows Method 2. Press and release the Alt key. The Menu Bar will be displayed; then choose View > Toolbars and click on Menu Bar. The Menu Bar should now be displayed permanently, unless you turn it off again using View > Toolbars. Check mark = displayed, NO check mark = not displayed. See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Menu+bar+is+missing

Navigation Toolbar, Bookmarks Toolbar and other Toolbars under View > Toolbars. Clicking on one of them will place a check mark (display) or remove the check mark (not displayed).

To display the Status Bar, View, then click Status bar to place a check mark (display) or remove the check mark (not displayed).

That should be holding down the Alt key.


Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
