Somehow Oryte! and Bing got to be my browser and I didn't want that, so I asked Firefox how to get rid of it. Whatever it said to do, I did -- but I lost the Firefox status bar. I just have blank tabs without any place to enter URLs or search, without using my bookmarked Google home page. And there is no "previous/next page arrows", so I can't go back a page -- I have to close the tab, go to Google and start over! I've downloaded Firefox 5.0 setup -- but I'm so not-technical that I don't know whether I must get rid of Firefox 4.0 setup first (how?) before opening or running 5.0 (which do I choose?). JUST HELP ME CLEAR THIS MESS AND INSTALL A WORKING 5.0, PLEASE!

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"

  • If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
  • If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
  • If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.
