I'm trying to configure mozilla firefox browser version 36.0 to use in a silent install deployment and so far i've managed to configure almost all settings that i wanted , except the menu bar.

I use a configure file with the options i want for example :

pref("browser.startup.homepage", about:blank); pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);

How can make the menubar visible by default ?

Thanks in advance !

Hello, I don't know whether there is an option for that in config menu. But you can easily do it with the help of Firefox's customize feature. Just follow these simple steps:

  • Go to the Firefox menu ≡
  • At bottom you'll see Customize . Click on that menu.
  • It will temporary change your windows. At the bottom of the page you'll see Show/Hide toolbars dropdown.
  • From that dropdown check Menu bar
  • Then Click on the Exit Customize, Hope it will work for you.

For detail with picture see this [on the Title bar, Menu bar or Bookmarks toolbar]

That is not possible via prefs on the about:config page. Only the toolbar customization is stored in the browser.uiCustomization.state pref. The setting what toolbars are visible is set via the xulstore.json file.
