I'm not certain whether you mean you cannot see the 'Composition Toolbar' which has 'Send', Spelling', Attach', Save' etc OR whether you can see the 'Composition toolbar', but only the 'Send' button is missing.

So here is a load of info covering all options :)

In a 'Write' window:

If 'Composition Toolbar' is not visible. Do you see the 'Menu Bar' toolbar: 'File, Edit, View etc ? If yes: View > Toolbars > select 'Composition Toolbar'

If no toolbars are visible: Press 'Alt' key to see a temp view of 'Menu Bar' Then quickly select : View > Toolbars > select 'Menu Bar' to set permanent. Then select: View > Toolbars > select 'Composition Toolbar'.


If both 'Menu Bar' and 'Composition Toolbar' toolbars are visible, just no 'Send' button. View > Toolbars > select 'Customise' If you see the 'Send' button, you can drag it back onto the 'Composition Toolbar. OR click on 'Restore default set' button Click on 'Done'

Both bars visible. I did all these things but still no Send button - except when I hit Customise, when Send lights up.. When I hit Restore Default Set, it goes again.

When you select 'Customise' Customise window opens. Is there a 'Send' icon in that window ? If yes, left click on 'Send' icon, hold down to grab and drag it onto the toolbar' Click on 'Done'

Thanks - very helpful. However, I discovered in the meantime that it had changed its habits: it now only lights up the Send button when I enter an address. That was not the case before. Doubtless an update Mozilla did not alert me to. Thanks again.
