firefox menu button missing on Android (4.4.2)

more options

Firefox mobile on my Android is missing a menu button. It used to have a three dot icon in the top right corner which opened a menu, but this disappeared (i'm not sure when). My phone has no default menu button of its own and I have tried reinstalling the app, but the menu icon is still missing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Problem solved. I have figured out that since an update, in order to access the menu/settings in Firefox on my phone, I now need to hold down the inbuilt button on the bottom right of my phone. This button ordinarily brings up apps stored in cache for quick access. I hope this helps anyone else with this problem.

Also the exact same thing applies to the lastpass app on my phone.

Are you running a custom rom? If so then some of them provide controls over when to show the 3 dot button.
