Chosen solution

You can permanently display the Menu Bar if you prefer it:

  • right-click in the empty area at the right side of the tab bar
  • click on Menu Bar to place a check mark
  • the Menu Bar should now be permanently displayed and the Firefox button in the upper left will no longer be displayed.
  • you can reverse the change by repeating and click Menu Bar to remove the check mark.

Just curious; you mentioned only the New Tab and Bookmark options on the Firefox button. There should be several other items, in 2 columns. Do you see other options? If you do, you can accomplish the display of the Menu Bar by choosing Options / Toolbar Layout to get the same small menu as in the above instructions for clicking/selecting Menu Bar.
