Thank you all for your support. I am not very good at the vocabulary of computing. It seems my firefox has changed? I have the new toolbar on the left with the ability to click the star and add to my bookmarks. I have the download arrow and the house (home) button, but my 3 bar menu will not open. I have Windows 8.1 on a ASUS laptop with Firefox 31?

I have reset Firefox? I don't understand 'safe' mode. But, the problem still stays. I want to be able to customize Firefox from the dropdown menu button.

Thanks Ollie

this is a simple answer .... press the alt key and it pops up (press the alt key when you need it)

the change is to make the working part of the browser larger and so it automatically conceals itself... that can be changed by selecting View > menu tool bar
