I have Windows 7. Firefox was working fine until last week when the menu bar disappeared and Google, my home page, got really big and took up all the space on the page. I read about how to get my menu bar back on this page. I pressed Alt and it came back once. Then, later, when I came back to the page and pressed Alt to get it back again, it wouldn't come back. Nothing happened. I read more and learned I could try F10. I tried this and nothing happened. What can I do to get my menu bar back and keep it back?

If you have no Titlebar, Menu Bar or Toolbars, you may be in Full Screen Mode. Tap the F11 key to toggle Full Screen Mode on or off. Also, if you are in Full Screen Mode, moving your cursor to the top edge of the monitor display will cause the toolbars to "slide" down; while the toolbars are down you can right-click in the empty space at the end of the tab bar and click "Exit Full Screen Mode".

To turn toolbars on or off see the following. The checked items will be displayed. Click on an item to check or un-check it.


You are using Firefox 4.0.1 which is no longer supported. Firefox 5.0 is a security and stability update for Firefox 4.0.1. A few add-ons are still not working with Firefox 5.0 because the third-party developers of the add-ons have not updated their products.



You need to update the following. The Plugin version(s) shown below was/were submitted with your question and is/are out of date. You should update to avoid known security issues with the version(s) you have installed. Click on "More system info..." to the right of your question to see what was included with your question.

      • Follow the prompts for updating
      • If this method works for you, skip the "Download complete installer" section below and proceed to "After the installation" below
    • Download complete installer (if you do NOT have Adobe Reader installed):
    • After the installation, start Firefox and check your version again.
  3. Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.
    • Download and SAVE to your Desktop so you can find the installer later
    • If you do not have the current version, click on the "Player Download Center" link on the "Download and information" or "Download Manual installers" below
    • After download is complete, exit Firefox
    • Click on the installer you just downloaded and install

Start Firefox in Safe Mode by Holding down the SHIFT key while starting Firefox. Check and tell if its working.
