Hit the Alt key to show the Menu Bar, which has the View menu. And 2014-06-24T13:52:26-07:00the-edmeisterhttps://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/997182?page=2#answer-596173<p><em><strong> "... where is my VIEW button?" </strong></em>
</p><p>Hit the <strong>Alt</strong> key to show the Menu Bar, which has the View menu. And when the Menu Bar is open, you can do View &gt; Toolbars and select the Menu Bar item to have the Menu Bar be visible all the time.
</p><p><em><strong> "... I don't like just icons on the toolbar because I don't know what most of them are ..."</strong></em>
</p><p>If you hover the cursor over a Toolbar icon, a tooltip should appear that tells you what that icon is used for. Such as, <strong>Display the progress of ongoing downloads</strong> if the cursor is over the <em><strong>Down Arrow</strong></em> icon on the Navigation Toolbar. And the <em><strong>3-Bar</strong></em> menu button has a tooltip for <strong>Open menu</strong>.

<p>To get the old style of buttons with an icon + text, I think you need to use an add-on. Classic Theme Restorer probably is the most popular. <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/</a>
</p>Thank you, when/if I get my happy self back again I'll give it a shot.

But one thought occurs now because i have been trying to find it for the past half hour, where is my VIEW button? These questions continue to occur - all I know is I don't like the new Firefox because issues keep occuring I don't recognize all at once. I don't have the toolbar that has VIEW, TOOLS etc.
</p><p>PLUS I don't like just icons on the toolbar because I don't know what most of them are so I have to take a shot in the dark and try them and if its not the one I wanted I have to undo what i did and try again. Firefox used to have to view just icons or also text.

This is precisely WHY I want to retain control over updates (which it now appears Firefox has decided to remove that option for me and THEY UPDATE my files anyway). I'm tired of getting updates that have me spending days trying to get functionality back over my system. With Firefox there is no system just CHAOS. I used to be a devoted fan of Firefox but not anymore and as soon as I find something else I'm going to drop Firefox ASAP. I have been working around trying to find a substitute but every one of them lacks something. So now Firefox has joined the list of losers. Do they realize how they are screwing up productivity. Instead of getting something done I'm constantly trying to fix/get rid of Firefox. NOT that they care, clearly.

Amazingly, I happened on a conversation disclosing that Firefox doesn't like it when people don't update so they have decided to do it in the background without users knowing - THAT REALLY TICKS ME OFF, I don't appreciate anyone screwing with my computer or my stuff in such a sneaky underhanded way.
</p><p>Why doesn't Firefox just leave stuff alone. They say its a SECURITY UPDATE so what is there about security that requires screwing things up like the toolbar that is nothing like the old one.
</p><p>Why does Firefox change stuff and then we, the user, have to spend lord only knows how long trying to fix Firefox's FIX?

However, it's possible that one of your extensions could behave differently if it found or didn't find the Add-on bar.&nbsp;??
</p><p>Here is the usual first suggestion for flaky web site loading/display:
</p><p>When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
</p><p>(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
</p><p>Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
</p><p>Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
</p><p>"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) &gt; Options &gt; Advanced
</p><p>On the Network mini-tab &gt; Cached Web Content&nbsp;: "Clear Now"
</p><p>If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
</p><p>(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
</p>
<ul><li> right-click and choose View Page Info &gt; Security &gt; "View Cookies"
</li><li> Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) &gt; Page Info &gt; Security &gt; "View Cookies"
</li></ul>
<p>In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
</p><p>Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
</p>
<hr>
<p>After that, we usually suggest using Firefox's Safe Mode to deactivate all your extensions. But of course, then we won't be able to answer the question of what the interaction is. So instead, try disabling ALL nonessential extensions on the Add-ons page. I.e., stuff you won't be using for the next 24 hours. Either:
</p>
<ul><li> Ctrl+Shift+a
</li><li> "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) &gt; Add-ons
</li></ul>
<p>In the left column, click Extensions. Then you can disable on the right.
</p><p>Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
</p><p>Does that help with eBay?
