Hello richardbreverly, if you have the "old style menu-xp version!" enable go from View > Toolbars > UNcheck Menu Bar to get Firefox Button back
What happened to the File, Edit, and View menus?
Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar
thank you

Thanks ideato Unfortunately it does not work as the "tab strip" is black at the top of the screen. However, after searching here and there I found a "Reset Firefox" key and that restored the firefox button etc. Appreciate the response.
Of interest: If I right click on a tab and select 'Open in new window' the Firefox button etc. all appear per normal....but would not in the 'normal screen' when opening Firefox....strange.
