I am not in full screen mode, but I have lost the file, edit, view menus. How do I restore them?

Possibly something has gone wrong, or you may just have inadvertently changed the settings.

In most systems there is a Firefox button instead of a long menu toolbar.

• Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar

You will also have options to display your bookmarks and navigation toolbars.

• Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars

Try to remove the Firefox plist file (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

Go to "~/Library/Preferences" and remove the plist file for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist)

Try to repair the disk permissions:
