When I turn on my e-mail and the Thunderbird Mozilla comes up the tab that usually comes up at the top near the inbox tab is gone and also when I hit forward my address book no longer shows up to the left of the message that I want to forward. Can you help me with this problem? Thank You for your help with this problem.

Thank you for your help that did work. But the other question as to where the tab went that says Thunderbird that always came up before and also contained the little tabs that said like, write, address book and things like that are gone too, can you help with that too? Thank You

Sounds like a Toolbar not a tab. Hint. If the view is not like you want use the VIEW Menu. View-Toolbars and turn the toolbars back on.

That was helpful but I sure don't know where to find the VIEW menu so that I can turn the toolbars back on too. could you help me with that?

It is on the AppMenu button. 3 horizontal lines Or on the Menu Bar that is hidden in new versions. The alt key reveals hidden Menu bars in most applications including Thunderbird.
