I can't find a button for tools, I want to re-enable save password option but I can't find toolbar to find tools and options. All I have is a rectangle in the top left corner of my screen that says firefox, when I drop it down it gives me options like new tab, stop private browsing, edit, find, save page as, print, web developer, full screen, set up sync, and exit. No tools option, HELP!!!!

By default on Windows Vista the menu bar has been replaced with the orange Firefox button where you can access commonly used commands. For example to access the Options window click the orange Firefox button then select Options.

If you want to temporarily display the menu bar, allowing you to access the Tools menu, press either Alt or F10.

If you want to permanently display the menu bar, right-click on a toolbar, then click the "Menu Bar" entry to select it.
