How do I get to the Firefox toolbar?

I need to control cookies. I have been given the proper steps to do so, but am unable to locate the Firefox menu button and then "options".

Options can be accessed in several ways. To use the classic menu bar (File, Edit, View), tap the Alt key (or F10 key), which is a trick used in many Windows applications:

  • Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
  • Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences
  • Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences
  • Any system: type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it

In the left column, click Privacy & Security. You'll find cookie and site data settings in that panel.
