where are file, edit view menus?
I can not see the entire bar across the top of my screed in firefox- the file, edit, view menus on the left and the clock, wifi, volume, etc on the right. I am not in full screen mode and I clicked the little menu icon upper right and still can not see it in firefox. If I click on the desktop area, it reappears for Finder. I think I have a downloaded update to install but have a lot of tabs open at the moment.

Press the Alt or F10 key bring up the tool bar,
I ended up restarting my computer and it's there now. Thank goodness! It just got be too frustrating to continue working without it.
UPDATE: FORGET WHAT I SAID ABOVE! Oct 8, 2016 This continues to be a problem- ongoing since posting here in July. At first the menu bar would reappear after a restart but them stop appearing all together. I recently did a firefox "reset"- it was after being asked if I wanted to do that shortly after and update. Eventhough it warned Id loose all my customizations, i gave it try. It worked! But only for about a 1.5 weeks.

Well done.
Okay- I woke up and it's gone again! f10 is the volume and alt f10 brings up sound preferences.
Sounds like you have a laptop with a specialized keyboard.
Alt alone should work to temporarily reveal the Menu Bar.
But you can have the Menu Bar showing all the time, like this: Right-click ate the top of the browser window and select Menu Bar so that it has a check-mark.
The Mac works a bit differently than other platforms: the operating system takes control of the top bar and Firefox's internal enable/disable for the menu bar is not applicable.
This old thread from last September lists a number of things you could check, including Firefox's xulstore.json file which sometimes becomes corrupted, and Mac's plist file, which I know nothing about:
I'm sorry but that is all too confusing for me with no menubar options. This just very recently became an issue on my machine- I am using a macbook pro with an external apple wireless keyboard & an external Samsung monitor S22C300. Problem remains unsolved.
