The toolbar at the top of the browser is gone. (File/Edit/etc) Can't find anywhere to reactivate the toolbar. Where is it??
Running Windows 7. Accidently closed the toolbar that has the main functions (File/Edit/View/etc). I cannot locate anywhere to reinstate the toolbar.

"File/Edit/etc": That's the Menu Bar; see below.
Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)
Firefox 3.6.x versions allow the user to hide the Menu Bar.
- Tap the ALT key or the F10 key, Menu Bar will display, click View, click Toolbars, click Menu Bar to place a check mark next to it, OR
- Press and hold the ALT key while pressing the letters VTM on your keyboard, then release the ALT key

Other Toolbars, see: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Back+and+forward+or+other+toolbar+items+are+missing
Status Bar: click View, click Status Bar to place a check mark
Full Screen Mode: If you have no Toolbars or Tab Bar: Press F11 (F11 is an on/off toggle). See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Netbooks#Full_screen
