If you right click on the top bars in the browser you can check and uncheck what bars appear. I accidentally unchecked something there and now when I right click I cannot get any menu to recheck my menu, status bars so that they are visible. They are currently not visible, I have no way to navigate or change any settings.

OK, got it fixed, I kept fishing around on this site and found an answer. Depress the Alt key and the menu bar temporarily appears, long enough to restore the bars to be visible.
