how do i get the menu bar back as it has disappeared somehow?
so i dont have an address bar or the buttons for going back and forward amongst pages, tried looking through the firefox options but couldn't find anything to bring it back. also have tried right clicking on the tab bar and that doesn't bring up anything that can help.

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
- Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
- Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
- If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
- If you see other missing items in the Customize window then drag them back from the Customize window onto one of the toolbars.
- If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

i cant get to any of that because i don't have a menu bar or anything. can you tell me how to get the menu bar back?
From the Restore the Menu bar in Firefox article, under Hidden menu bar:
If you're using Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you now have an orange Firefox button that takes the most common functions and puts them in one menu.
- To temporarily show the old style menus, just press the Alt key.
- To have them shown all the time, right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip and check Menu Bar in the pop-up menu.
all i have is the tab section up the top, so when i right click it gives me the option to create a new tab or reload it.
