Very Simple Problem for you: Setting 'Browser screen' I. While first time I installed Firefox Browsing set-up, the 'default' opening Screen was with normal features viz

with a bar at top with File, Edit, History , Book marks, tools ,Help etc, And below -a browsing  bar in right showing space for URL entry and in  left of URL entry space there are icons  of going back/forward ,home etc.

II. In any way the screen has been changed and set now to new one missing all above features. Instead: I find screen with only icons of Most-visited, Getting-Started, Latest Headlines, etc nothing else

I removed the entire M/Firefox set up. Again downloaded the M/Firefox Browsing Set up. But still I am not getting Screen-I

Kindly help me to set back to the screen-I

  • In Firefox 3.6 versions on Windows and Firefox 4 on Windows and Linux it's possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar.
  • Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
  • Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).
