Solution eye eponami

Try pressing the alt key on your keyboard, that should bring up the menu bar temporarrily, then use View -> Toolbars -> and put a tick/check against the menu bar and navigation bar.

If you hold the alt key and in turn press V T N keys it does something similar.

You may in some cases need to use the restore defaults or customise/customize options to bring things back to the way they were. And in some cases a extension or plugin may be causing the changes. For more information look at

Please mark the question as solved if the solution works, if you need more information, or the idea does not work explain what happens and someone will try to help.
