I have just updated Firefox and now cannot find the "location bar," "back" and "forward" arrows, and "bookmarks." Any suggestions?

With past versions of Firefox, I have had a location bar at the top of the screen where you could enter a URL. This does not appear now.

With past versions of Firefox, I could go back to a previous URL by clicking on a "back" arrow. Similarly, I could go to a more recent URL by clicking a "forward" arrow. I do not see any arrows.

With past versions of Firefox, I could click on "Bookmarks" at the top of the screen to see all of my bookmarks. With the new version I do not have a "Bookmarks" tab. Where I can I find it?

Thanks to all.

  1. "Bookmarks" at the top of the screen: That's on the Menu Bar; see below.
  2. "location bar," "back" and "forward" arrows: Located on the Navigation Toolbar; see Other Toolbars below.

Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)
Firefox 3.6.x versions allow the user to hide the Menu Bar.

  • Tap the ALT key or the F10 key, Menu Bar will display, click View, click Toolbars, click Menu Bar to place a check mark next to it, OR
  • Press and hold the ALT key while pressing the letters VTM on your keyboard, then release the ALT key

Other Toolbars, see: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Back+and+forward+or+other+toolbar+items+are+missing
Status Bar: click View, click Status Bar to place a check mark
Full Screen Mode: If you have no Toolbars or Tab Bar: Press F11 (F11 is an on/off toggle). See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Netbooks#Full_screen
