I find Firefox for Windows 8 very frustrating! I uninstalled some toolbar items that automatically came with something I wanted to download, and now I have no toolbar on top of my Firefox browser...which means no back button, no tabs on the right for bookmarks and history, and it's very frustrating. Please help me figure out how to get the Awesomebar back (at least, I think that's what it was).

If a toolbar goes missing, here are some ways you can get it back:

  • right-click a blank area of the tab bar, then choose it from the drop-down menu
  • open the classic View menu using Alt+v, then Toolbars to display the list

If neither of those functions, you might be in full screen mode. You can use the F11 function key to switch between full screen and normal view.

Any luck?
