Hi sheijo,

Thank you for contacting support. Can you please clarify your question, is it not working?

Currently Firefox has different menu structures on a Mac and a PC. As you see that Preferences is in the File Menu on a Mac and Options is in the Tools menu on a PC.

If you have any other questions about this, we are happy to help.
