I was setting cookies and my url window disappeared, along with my file tab. The only thing on top of my screen are the window tabs(web page tabs) and a tool bar I just installed. My original toolbar disappeared with the rest. I think they are covered but do not know how to uncover. I even set firefox to default settings...no luck HELP! please.

Be sure the Navigation Bar is being displayed. View > Toolbars, if there is no check mark next to Navigation Bar, click Navigation Bar to place a check mark.

Can't see the Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)? Turning the Menu Bar on and off is a new feature in version 3.6. (Linux & OSX see: Restore the Menu bar in Firefox ) Windows Method 1. Hold down the key and press the following letters in this exact order: V T M Windows Method 2. Press and release the key. The Menu Bar will be displayed; then choose ~~red:V~~iew > ~~red:T~~oolbars and click on ~~red:M~~enu Bar. The Menu Bar should now be displayed permanently, unless you turn it off again using View > Toolbars. Check mark = displayed, NO check mark = not displayed. See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Menu+bar+is+missing

Navigation Toolbar, Bookmarks Toolbar and other Toolbars under View > Toolbars. Clicking on one of them will place a check mark (display) or remove the check mark (not displayed).

To display the Status Bar, View, then click Status bar to place a check mark (display) or remove the check mark (not displayed).
