I have absolutely no toolbars and don't know how to get them back.

I hid my "File/Edit/History/etc..." toolbar by right-clicking and un-checking it. I accidentally did the same thing with my navigation toolbar and now I have no toolbars and can't get them back. I have tried to right-click but because there are no longer any toolbars, it won't open the toolbar menu it gave me before. Depending where I click I either get the tabs menu or the options to Close, Minimize, or Maximize my screen. I tried closing the window and opening a new one but that didn't work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and that didn't help, either. I am out of ideas, what can I do?

This happened

Not sure how often

Hit the Alt key to show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark.

Does Firefox switch to full screen if you press F11 ?

You can also try the F10 key to see if that brings up the menu bar. ---
