On my Firefox page there is no History menu in the "three vertical dash" button on the upper right hand corner of my Firefox page. What happened to it? The things I am trying to do say go to the button and click on History, which isn't there.

Chosen solution

It should be there, with an icon that looks like a clock.

If it moved, you could try using Customize to find it. There should be a button for customize at the bottom of the new menu.

Or if you don't have time to search around among the toolbars for it, you could use the classic menu bar temporarily: tap the Alt key to display it at the top of the window.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.

  • Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
  • View > Toolbars (press F10 to show the Menu bar)
  • Right-click empty toolbar area

Click Customize to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.

  • if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
  • if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the "Restore Defaults" button to restore the default toolbar setup
