All the toolbars on my desktop disappeared suddenly in Firefox. I look at various suggestions (press Alt, F10, F11 etc) but nothing has worked. I started working on my laptop but soon the toolbars there disappeared just the same. Can you advise?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.


You can try:

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
