The line at the top of Firefox screen which includes "File, Edit, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help" suddenly disappeared off top of screen. Did I hit something wrong? How can I get that vital line back? I tried re-booting computer, re-starting Firefox.

I solved my own problem; found a right-pointing circular arrow just to the right of the "back button" on top left, which says "reload current page" AFTER you cover it with cursor. Right click produces a dropdown menu. Top item is "menu bar" and had no check mark, unlike others on the list. When"menu bar" is checked, the disappeared line reappears from left to right near top of screen, in its normal position. So it now reads, "File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help" which had previously disappeared mysteriously. wdeley
