Main page is fine(full Menubar) when I open a new tab the menu bar disappears as well as scrolling ability disappears. all I have is the address bar at the top
In the past I always had my pages open in a new window and not in a new tab but it is useless if I can't see the whole page because I only have the address bar, and I can minimize and maximize or close the page. There is no scrolling up and down . Now I have to go to my desktop and open a new window and paste the address in order to get a working page. I have even gone so far as to uninstall and delete the Mozilla in programs, redownload and install but I have the same issue.

Are you running Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode (never remember history)?
You could be experiencing bug 1166066 that happens when you are running Firefox in Private Browsing mode and you open links in a new window.
Possible workarounds:
(1) use Options/Preferences > General: "Open new windows in a new tab instead" (2) Shift+click links to open in a new window with the standard features or use the right-click context menu.
You can modify dom.disable_window_open_feature prefs and change their value to true to prevent a website from disabling toolbars and scroll bars in a pop-up window

Make sure you have access to extensions. If you don't, you need to switch to the beta build of Firefox. Get the extension "MyAddressBar" it will allow you to pull up a address bar with a user configured key letting you type in a URL to navigate to without leaving fullscreen
We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
- On the keyboard, press [Windows] The image "Windows key" does not exist. + [R]. This should bring up a Run window that contains a text field.
- In that text field, type %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
- From that explorer window, double-click on the Mozilla folder, then double-click on Firefox and then on Crash reports. Double-click on submitted.
- Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to View > Arrange Icons by > Modified to get the most recent files at the top of the window.

- Paste each ID with bp- into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
