I have Firefox 3.6.16. Since installing it, my menu bar often is not operational....So even though I click on the Tools or View category, no options box shows up.

A few days ago I could not get my Yahoo! icons up nor Yahoo's Search box--at least that's working now; but the menu bar is behaving strangely.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thank you for your consideration. marlem388

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Dear cor-el,

Thank you for your suggestion; I really should have mentioned that I already had used safe-mode before and also disabled and re-enabled the extensions (all of them) plus even uninstalled and re-installed the extensions.

The problem has remained. However, I have not yet switched to the Default theme as you advised. So I shall do that.

Thank you so much for your suggestion; I should have mentioned that I had already tried many other remedies.
