Using the userChrome.css file, I am trying to accomplish two things: 1) Hide the appmenu button; 2) Show the Menu bar. I am able to turn off the appmenu button, but I can't get the Menu bar to display.

Here is the code I am using: @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* set default namespace to XUL */

  1. appmenu-button {display: none !important; }
  2. toolbar-menubar {display: list !important; }

Please help. Thank you. Eddy

Thanks cor-el. I will keep your solution in mind. I was able to figure out my problem - instead of using 'display: list', I used 'display: inline' (for the toolbar-menubar).

Why don't you make the Menu bar visible via View > Toolbars?

Note that toolbars require display: -moz-box !important;

Firefox 27 uses this code, see line 276 in this file (open via the location bar): 

chrome://global/content/xul.css

toolbar[type="menubar"][autohide="true"][inactive="true"]:not([customizing="true"]) {
  min-height: 0 !important;
  height: 0 !important;
  -moz-appearance: none !important;
  border-style: none !important;
}

So you need at least set the height
