My Firefox Start Page has no Location Bar

When I open my Firefox Starter Page (after I installed the update) all it has on it, at the very top, are 4 tabs:"Latest Headlines;Most Visited;Getting Started;Google Search". The whole rest of the Starter Page is blank. The "Getting Started" tab is useless because it shows a "Starter Page" that looked like the one I used to have. I repeat I have no location bar or anything at all to use to try and get the starter page looking like the one I had.

Hello targetcare, you can click View > Toolbars > and check "Navigation Toolbar"[v] to get the location bar back.

Your suggestion can't be used simply because I cannot find "View" anywhere on the starting page. As I said, originally, all I have are those 4 choices. Above those choices is only Fox's logo, nothing else. Clicking on any of those 4 tabs only opens what the title says. I have looked everywhere else but I just can't find any other place to click.

Do you have the firefox button (an orange button) at the top left of firefox screen ? If yes, click it, select Options > check toolbars.

thanks again

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.

Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.

  • Firefox menu button > Options
  • View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
  • Right-click empty toolbar area
