Hi, I've recently accidentally broken and had to reinstall some packages on my computer & as part of that firefox has changed how it displays the drop down menu (File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help Menu bar) It now displays on the top bar of the screen - where the title of the page is - but only appears when I move the cursor over it. See 2nd attached image.

Is there any way I can get it to go back to being permanently accessible below my tabs as it was previously

Also, for info as much as anything: I've found https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-menu-bar-firefox but it appears to be out of date as I cannot get any option to show 'menu bar' in the way it suggests. See 1st attached image

I'm on firefox browser 107.0 x64 Ubuntu 18.04 x64

Thanks

You can try Firefox from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution to see if it behaves differently.
