You have version 4.0.1. The Options dialog can be accessed either way --

orange Firefox button > Options > Security tab

Tools menu > Options > Security tab

To display the classic menu bar temporarily, tap the Alt key or press F10. To make that permanent (and replace the orange Firefox button), use View > Toolbars > Menu Bar.

Does that help?
