the file, edit, view, bookmark, tools, help toolbar is missing. I was trying to mess with customizing my toolbars and I don't know how I deleted it.

You can still use/see the Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help) if you prefer it:

  • Temporarily display the Menu Bar: press the ALT key or the F10 key and make your selections from the temporarily displayed Menu Bar
  • Toggle between the Menu Bar and Firefox button. Do one of the following:
    • NOTE:
      • Menu Bar checked = Menu Bar on, Firefox button off
      • Menu Bar un-checked = Menu Bar off, Firefox button on
    • keyboard shortcut: HOLD the ALT key while pressing the letters VTM on your keyboard
    • Using the Menu Bar: click View > Toolbars, click Menu Bar
    • Using the Firefox Button: click Firefox Button > Options, click Menu Bar
    • right-click on an empty space in one of the toolbars, click Menu Bar

Thank you so very much Helper7677, I followed your instructions of: I clicked the Firefox Button, then went to options, then I noticed on the toolbar all were checked except the menu bar. I clicked it and "low and behold" there it was. Thanks again!
