I am using Firefox 10. I recently switched from XP to Win 7, clean install. When I used to open Firefox there was a black bar across the top with links to Maps, Gmail etc. Don't have it now. Also there used to be a link to Hotmail in on of the tool bars, that's missing too. How do I get these back?

Thanks

Chosen solution

Firefox 4+ versions use a new build-in home page named about:home with a Google search bar on it (no internet access needed to load that page).

That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.

If you want a home page with extras then set another page as the home page like www.google.com as used in Firefox 3 versions or the iGoogle site ([www.google.com/ig]).

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
