What happened to the Location Bar/Navigation Bar?

After some update to Firefox in the past I no longer have the Navigation Bar. I cannot enter an address or see the address of the website or page I'm on (which I used to VERIFY the address for security purposes!). I've submitted feedback about the missing Navigation Bar but have NEVER heard back from Firefox. Any solutions?

Tried this already, but it didn't work. I did the following and got it back: right-clicked on toolbar, selected "Customize," found "Location," dragged icon to a toolbar and clicked to tack it there, clicked "Done" and that did the trick. Thanks anyway.

Hi ghost184,

Try going to View > Toolbars > Navigation toolbar. That will bring the address bar back. If you have the Firefox menu in the upper left hand corner of the screen, hit ALT to temporarily enable those menus. If you want to have a more familiar Firefox feel, be sure the Menu Bar, Navigation toolbar, and Bookmarks Toolbar are all enabled.

Hopefully this helps!
