I am having trouble with my Mac Menu Bar. Firefox is not in Full Screen mode, and the Menu Bar is visible, but it is not registering Firefox as being the current program, causing me to loose things such as "Bookmarks" and "History" or even "Force Quit". Does anyone know how to fix this?

You can try to do some maintenance.

Repair the disk permissions:

Remove the Firefox plist file (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

Go to "~/Library/Preferences" and remove the plist file for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist)
