Why does my laptop not have the orange firefly button after I updated to version 5.0?

I still have the usual items in the upper left corner: File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help. Then below those are my webpage tabs.... Everything else looks the same as the Getting Started page Firefox has for newbies. I am not super savvy with computers, so forgive me if this is an obvious fix. Thanks.

If you have customized your menus or toolbars, then the installer might not switch you to the abbreviated menus. To switch manually, go to

View menu > Toolbar > uncheck Menu Bar

In the future, you can display the classic menu bar temporarily by tapping the Alt key or pressing the F10 key.

Thanks! I knew it had to do with toolbars, but I kept looking for it in the customize area and didn't think about unchecking any toolbars!!
