Up until two days ago my home page was comcast.net with Mozilla Firefox being my isp. Now It comes up with Yahoo all the time and has no bar with edit, bookmarks, so on so forth, and no arrow to go back to the previous page option. I do not like Yahoo and do not want it as my homepage. How can I get it back to comcast. I have deleted firefox and re-installed it but it still does the same thing? Please Advise!

How do I get the menu bar to come up and the back arrow option?

In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on a toolbar.

Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).
