Perhaps its a virus problem. Firefox no longer shows its toolbar, even after I download a new version. Only a black space appears where it used to be. I can't change security or history settings, or others. Any ideas how to fix this?

Chosen solution

  • In Firefox 3.6 versions on Windows and Firefox 4 on Windows and Linux it's possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar.
  • Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
  • Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).
