    I don't know what the wife did, but the main toolbar in firefox is gone. No "file", "view", "History" or "Bookmarks".

    Did a system restore. Still gone. Tried to import the bookmarks to IE, none found. Reinstalled FF and still gone.

    Anyone run into this before?

    Hey Tim,

    Forgive me if this is not the problem... but have you right clicked where your forward/back/stop/home buttons are? Just right click anywhere on that bar and then put a check (select) next to menu bar.

    Tim W,

    Try right clicking on an empty part of the navagation bar and a drop down menu should appear. Click on Menu and you should have everything back as was. :)

    Right click in the tiny space between the address field and the search field and tick Menu Bar.

    EDIT - must learn to type faster ;)

    Then I must have been a twit too in the past by trying to find a space in between items in order to customize. As you can see on the pic I tweaked FF a bit. (There is also an add-on which is called TinyMenu I believe and puts File, Edit, View Bookmarks, Tools and Help all in one tiny block, just like Chrome. By clicking on it, it will expand.) Anyway to come back on topic, I found the solution by dragging 3 spaces in between the search bar and ABP. Now if I want to adjust anything I have the space.
