I suddenly have no place to type in a url. I have no google search, I have no file, edit, view, history, bookmark, tools, help, etc. I have no green arrow on the top left to go back........ everything is gone. I figured out a way to get to your web site (thru the add or remove option on my control panel) and I reinstalled the latest version...... still all the same..... Mozilla Firefox at the top and I still have tabs. How do I get everything 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.
