Firefox, unknown version: how do I restore the menu bar?


Hi: yesterday I instructed Firefox to temporarily remove the menu bar. Now I want to restore it, but find no way of doing it! Clicking the mouse right button that pop up menu does not provide a way to restore the menu bar. What can I do.

To find the Firefox version I must be able to access the Help menu, which I lack because I haven't a menu bar.

If you put your mouse pointer at the top of the Firefox box the right click doesn't give you the option.

If instead you put it on the line with the tabs and right click it should display a box that has a check box for menu bar. Selecting that will add the menu back.

P.S. This is different than the MS-Windows version which has the tab bar at the top of the box. The X window box is above tab bar in Linux windows managers like Gnome.
