I was originally trying to install a java plugin(JRE), and most solutions told me to visit the firefox add-ons page via the firefox button. The top of my web browser looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/Qp2jTNS.png so I clicked on the only button in the top that looked like a firefox button and this was the result: https://i.imgur.com/PBJTpm0.png Then I saw images of what it's supposed to look like (thank you, mozilla, for providing those. I mean that) and thought perhaps I just have an outdated or broken version, so I uninstalled it and re-downloaded it. It looks the same. I kinda feel like egoraptor from gamegrumps during their beautiful little moment. (if you don't get the reference, it's not important)

What is this and how do I fix it? (

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

You can open the Tools menu and choose Add-ons, or you can press Ctrl+Shift+A.

If you want the Firefox button, right-click an empty area of the tab bar and uncheck "Menu Bar".

Don't get too accustomed to the Firefox button though. The upcoming Firefox 29 (slated for release in a month or so) has a redesigned interface. The Firefox button in the top left will be gone, replaced with a 3-line menu button on the right edge of the navigation toolbar.
