The line that has "File Edit History Bookmarks Tools Help" is usually missing on the new tab. How do keep this line visible when I go to a new tab in the same window? I am using Firefox 32.0, but it also happened in Firefox 31.0. This is running on WIN XP Pro Thanks

Hmm, that's strange. The classic "menu bar" should stay put when you switch among tabs in the same window. If the entire toolbar area is disappearing, that could be Firefox's full screen view. The F11 key switches between regular and full screen views. Or if it contains Flash content, I believe you use the Esc key to exit from Flash's full screen mode.

I think you are familiar with the following, but for quick reference, you can show/hide the menu bar using the toolbar list displayed by any of these methods:

  • right-click a blank area of the tab bar
  • right-click the "+" button on the tab bar
  • tap the Alt key to show the menu bar temporarily, then View > Toolbars
  • "3-bar" menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars

Thanks jscher2000. I couldn't believe it was that simple.
