My navigation bar was accidentally closed (file, tools, refresh and stop buttons, address bar, etc) and now I can't get it back. I've tried pressing F11 as someone suggested but nothing happened. Please advise.

Thank you! It worked :)

Glad it worked, if you mark it as solved others will know the answer works.

Thank you so much John99. It was driving me crazy because I could not figure out how it happened. I felt like I was looking for an elephant with a microscope. It worked perfectly. Thank you again.

THANKYOU!!:)) So simple but what relief!

I tried the alt key, but didn't hold it down long enough. Your solution worked and I am very grateful!! Thanks!!
