You can click on Firefox>Options>Menu bar (Click that and your menu bar with Tools will appear). You can even customize your firefox 4 to look like firefox 3.6,x version by seeing the following link-

that's the problem there is no firefox icon at top of page no menu bar, tools etc NOTHING

Can you see an orange Firefox button on top left corner of your firefox browser?

not at all ??????? I appreciate your help, but this firefox does not seem to work properly

Can you try pressing F11 ? Maybe your browser is on full screen instead of normal mode

If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

Well.....looks like that might have solved it . I now see a tool bar & apps etc. Thank you so much

What i don't see is the little fox on top left...guess i won't worry about that
