Where is my Mac menubar when using firefox?

more options

The Menu bar that usually runs along the top of my screen (as well as the doc) are not longer present when Firefox is my active application. How to I restore them? This all started when I upgraded my firefox system... and then yahoo sort of tried to take over my browsing preferences.

Mozilla is usually awesome in support of their users, but this little blunder is a disaster.

Chosen solution

Yahoo shouldn't take over once you choose your preferred search engine, new tab, etc. Check for unwanted Spigot and Conduit extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Command+Shift+a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then review the list on the right and, if in doubt, disable or remove.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
