I brought alcohol and swabs in to clean my keyboard today* and managed to hit some key combination that makes the top menu bar on Firefox go away - the one with File, Edit, etc. Experimentation shows that F10 will bring it back until I hit a key or choose an option in the menu, whereupon it goes away again. Anyone now how to make it come back on a more permanent basis? Solved! Right-click on the top bar, choose "Menu bar". :D Thank you!


* Normally you get a new keyboard when they replace your computer, but I've got an ergonomic keyboard so it wasn't replaced. :D It works perfectly fine, so I don't mind, but it's got 5 years worth of crap on it because I keep not cleaning it.

Right-click on the top bar. The menu should show a short list of toolbars (if it doesn't click somewhere else. Do not click on the tabs area). Select 'menu bar.'

Just press F11? That seemed to work for me.

F11 merely expands the window beyond the bounds of the monitor for me. :/

ETA; Right-clicking on the top bar and choosing "Menu bar" frm the menu that appeared worked. XD Yay!
