Somehow I lost the little tabs in the upper left corner of the page that show File, History, Bookmark, etc. How do I restore the page the way it was and avoid doing it again?

Chosen solution

Hi David345, that sounds like what Firefox calls the Menu Bar.

To turn different bars on and off, you can use one of these methods to show the toolbar list and select the desired bars there:

  • right-click (on Mac Ctrl+click) a blank spot on the tab bar (or the "+" button)
  • (menu bar) View > Toolbars
    On Windows, tap the Alt key to activate the menu bar temporarily.
  • in Customize mode > Toolbars button (see: Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars)

To turn on the Menu Bar, Bookmarks Toolbar, or other bars, click it on the list.

Was that it?
