menu bar does not contain 3 parallel bars to allow me to reach "options" to chg cookies
menu bar contains 3 parallel bars, but when opened - it doesn't contain the "options" location needed to change my cookie preference. How do I get to the "options" location or have it appear on menu bar?

The button Options has a "gear" or "wheel" icon. Do you see that anywhere? If not, you might need to use the Customize feature to bring it back to the menu. See: Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars.
(Note to other readers: On Mac and Linux, it's "Preferences" instead of Options.)
An alternate way to access the Options page is to use the classic menu bar, Tools menu. If you do not normally display that bar, you can activate it temporarily by pressing and releasing the Alt key.
