Hi EajD, is the menu button missing from your toolbar, or is the problem that Options is missing from the menu?

Before Firefox 57, it was easy to pull Options off the application menu, but that is no longer an issue in Firefox 57 and later due to a change in how the menu works.

Since Firefox 52 is nearing its "end of life" -- support ends next month, I think -- I think we probably can leave the support articles "as is" rather than adding a note that if you removed Options from the application menu you may need to use the classic Tools menu to access it.

Thanks. There is no "Options" when I open the Menu. Surprised to see that v. 52 is nearing the end of its life! Here I am under the illusion that I'm up to date, as I allow automatic updates. So Firefox is now at v. 57?? A new question.

FF is not ESR version is at 61.0.2 now. Not sure where you info is coming from but you should keep it up to date. That might help so you can find and manage your login/pswd saves.

Firefox is now at version 61, but you are using the Extended Support Release of Firefox 52. Here is an article about ESR which has the calendar for the next release, which will be Firefox 60.3.0esr next week.

If you prefer to move to the regular release channel, you can install from this page: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ (scroll down to your preferred language). There were significant changes starting with Firefox 57.

Well I had no idea! I'm just a plain FF user. No-one told me that I was on an "extended life" channel for my updates, let alone that its support is about to end. Thank you. I've just installed the current version (61.0.2, 64-bit).
