With whatever last update was, my Firefox has gone bonkers. Toolbars, File/Edit/Bookmarks line, etc. are missing. There is NO firefox button, so I can't even try solutions offered. When firefox is open, I cannot see any of the things I have open on my computer (e.g. bar at the bottom of screen), clock, etc. The only way I can get to anything is to type part or all of the website address in. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and did not work.

Usually you have either the orange Firefox button (abbreviated menus) or the classic menu bar. You shouldn't be left without either.

To display the classic menu bar, tap the Alt key, then

View menu > Toolbars > check Menu Bar

In theory, unchecking that again would restore the orange Firefox button.

Does any of that work?

Actually, not sure why this corrected it, but when I just clicked on the little 'dual screen' button (upper right) that says 'restore down', it brought back all my tool bars and file/edit/view. Now whether I 'restore down' or 'maximize', everything is there. Go figure. :) Thanks for your response, tho.
