Question

posted by apophenia 3 months ago

Installed FF18, I have no 'awesome bar' (address bar) at all. Where is it ? In fact, no controls at all. No favorites, or any options whatsoever

All I get is the home page which takes up the whole screen. If I mouse up to top of screen, tabs are visible. I can add or delete new windows. But no controls or options of any kind appear.

Thanks for your reply ideato. I'm sure I did actually try that a few times, because it was obviously in full screen mode. Didn't work though. I can't check that one more time right now because the problem is on a friend's machine ( HP Pavilion DV6 laptop), and I am at home right now. I will try it again though just to be 100% certain.
I will try that again in a day or two.
Thanks again for reply, will post result ...
