I have lost the upper and lower tool bars on the Firefox home page. Now I have to scroll my mouse to the top of the screen in order to bring them up. How can I get the bars back?

The home page fills my entire screen now and it didn't before. This happened about a week ago. I tried to do a Restore on my system but the problem still exists. The Firefox button on the left has disappeared too.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).

If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.

You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

Thanks a bunch, Cor-el!! I actually had to enlarge the screen by using the up/down arrows, but I finally have my upper and lower bars back. Yippee. Thanks again. cub99tip
