I no longer have a visible row of tabs so that I can switch between tab pages. How can I restore this?

I need to make the tab strip visible, not hide it. I have downloaded & installed the latest version of Firefox. Windows 7 Home Premium OS. Thanks

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).

If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.
