Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).

If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

Who ever it was that gave me the suggestion to hit Alt key & then point arrow in the upper left corner under the menu tools & double click on it, & select or deselect restore. Well I did and it worked, thank you so very much now it stays on and no longer temporarily there. Thank you, thank you!
