Firefox doesn't bring back the menu bar when toggling back from full screen view(F11)

I have recently been using the full screen view (pressing F11). This works fine until I press F11 again to resume normal view when the menu bar does not appear. This means I cannot see the minimize / maximize / X buttons on the top right. Also, if there is another window open i.e. Word sometimes parts of this show through on the Firefox window. I try to use the latest version and so am currently using version 3.6.8
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Not sure - maybe after the latest update?

No, dont return it, its a glitch in Safari, and VERY annoying. I first would have to Force Quit Safari, but later learned to keep hovering the mouse in the upper right corner, even tho nothing, yeah nothing,,,,is visible.
Keep the mouse there, and after a bit, you will see the little arrows pointing in, hit them.
But to keep this from happening again, Im not sure.
So anybody with further info, please post it here.

Stop doesn't appear on the menu bar on Version 29.0.1. How do I install it?

Stop doesn't appear on the menu bar on Version 29.0.1 and I can't find the icon in the customize menu. It just seems to have disappeared. I would also like words under the menu icons. Also the reload icon can't be moved or customized.
I JUST HATE IT WHEN WEBSITES COME OUT WITH A NEW "STREAMLINED" APPEARANCE. IT ALWAYS MEANS FEWER FEATURES AND MORE TROUBLE TO USE.
HELP!

When safari is in full screen mode and I move the mouse to the top of the screen to bring up the menu bar and the bookmark bar, it does nothing. Is anyone else having this issue?

I just tested that since I hardly ever use full screen mode, this was the first time since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and it worked fine for me.
Try shutting Safari down and see if that changes anything.
If that doesn't change anything, try shutting down and then rebooting.

Menu bar is missing and no full screen icon and no minimize option and cannot close firefox or clear history

My Mac automatically updated from firefox 4 to 5 today, and there is no menu bar, nor is it in full screen for there is no full screen icon. I also can't minimize the firefox windows and cannot quit the program or clear browsing history. This is a huge problem. I went to re-download firefox 4 or 5 and it said I was running 3.6 which is not true and impossible. What is going on?

Only options are:
Navigation
Bookmarks
Add-on
Tabs on Top
Customize...
No "Menu Bar" option... I am on Mac

Menu Bar items invisible in Safari full screen mode

I have a brand new MacBook Pro 13" Retina, mid-2014 (the MGX72). When I use Safari in full screen mode, then move the cursor to the very top of the screen, which is supposed to bring back the Menu bar, a blank space representing the Menu Bar appears, and if I move the cursor to any place on that blank space and click, I see the items/options associated with Menu Bar items. So it's like the Menu Bar items are there, but they're invisible. This has to be a glitch of some type. My MacBook Air doesn't do this; the Menu Bar items appear normally, as they should. Is there a fix for this? All the usual suspects for bringing Safari out of full screen mode work fine, but that's not the idea. The Menu Bar items are supposed to become visible and they do not.

No, dont return it, its a glitch in Safari, and VERY annoying. I first would have to Force Quit Safari, but later learned to keep hovering the mouse in the upper right corner, even tho nothing, yeah nothing,,,,is visible.

All I get in the menu bar when I open Firefox IS "Firefox"--no bookmarks, no nothing. How canI get bookmarks back and Firefox functioning.

I have used Firefox forever. (I also use Thunderbird.) When I opened Firefox all I get now in the menu bar is the word "Firefox" with the "About Firefox," "Preferences," etc. list. Nothing else. I cannot open Firefox and I cannot quit it, either. I can do nothing with it at all. How can I get it back. I need my hundreds of bookmarks.
I use a MAC with Lion 10.7.5
Please help. Thank you.

Firefox sometimes does not display my tabs along the menu bar when two or less are open - is this a bug?

When I have less than three tabs open after having more open, Firefox does not display the tabs along the menu bar. This means I can't see tabs when I have two open. Is this a glitch?
Note: I am aware that I can set Firefox to always show the tabs, but I do not like this setting for when I only have one tab opened.

How to enable back the menu bar has been disable?

I has been disable the menu bar. and i want to enable back
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when i disable the menu bar

'''ALT V
T
M'''
Be sure to do this in a blank tab.

Why does Firefox jump to the menu bar when I type single letters - b, f, e, t...

The letters are acting as shortcuts to the menubar making it impossible to type in google search or other fields.

Alt does not appear to be stuck. I am back to 3.6 now and it is working fine. But when I hold down the alt key and press b or t etc.. it goes to the menu bar in the same way it would before. So perhaps that had something to do with it. Firefox 3.6 is working much better - including no flash update bs on youtube. Thank you.

I need to know 'How do I put back The Menu Bar where it was on Top where it belongs with browser bar is now??.

I repeat my question: "How do I put 'The Menu Bar' back where it was before. What I mean by The Menu Bar is: File,Edit, Format, View, Help it is on top where the Browser arrow is!!. I don't know how to put this Menu Bar where is belongs...

Right click up where the menu bar should be, it will have a list of options. You will see menu bar as the top option. Just click it and it will check it off and reappear.

Spry menu bar showing up as bullet points insted of the menu bar when previewed

Hi
this is my first post so i am sorry if i miss out any information
i am creating a pretty simple website for my family company and i've tried to incorporate a menu bar so users can navigate between pages it once worked when previwed in firefox and chrome but not internet explorer. i then went on to recreate the menu bar only to find now it only shows in the bullet points and not how it should. can some one help becuse its really getting me annoyed. the website is not live at the moment however i could upload it if this would help.
Thanks

Hi & thanks -
No time for the IE problem now, but on the "bulletpoints" page, these supporting files are either incorrectly linked in your page, or not uploaded to expected folder.
<script src="file://///Nas-box/work/Business/website/ijjservices 2012/Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file://///Nas-box/work/Business/website/ijjservices 2012/Templates/bar/ajxmenu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
(linked to your local computer)
<script src="/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
(not uploaded)
They are correctly linked on the IE page except for the ajax file which is linked to your local conputer.
No links should start with file://///

How can I configure my Macbook Air to always show the menu bar when in full-screen? I hate, hate, hate it popping up and then going away all the time.

I cannot find a way to change this in System Preferences. When I have applications open full screen, my menu bar disappears. Then when I try to move between tabs, I find it is always popping up & then disappearing. I really just want to set up my computer so that the menu bar always displays in the foreground. I find this popping up & disappearing intrusive and annoying. How can I fix this? I hate, hate, hate this about my MAC...
I have searched the full User Guide, Quick Start Guide, etc. and cannot find a way to fix this.

Don't use the full screen arrow in the top right corner of the window. Instead, use the green + in the top left corner. That takes the window full screen just below the menu bar.

Why can't I find the menu bar when I open iTunes on my Windows 8 lap top

I have downloaded some music in iTunes on my iPod Touch [version 8.1.2]. I noticed that the iTunes also appears on my Windows 8 laptop and when I sign in the music I purchased appears but I cannot download it because the computer is, "not authorised". My account details show that 3 devices are connected to iTunes. I checked on Google how to authorize a computer and it says: choose store > authorize this computer from the menu bar but I cannot find a menu bar. Can anyone please tell me what to do?

Press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

Creating a "more" button on the menu bar when the menus are more

Hi,
I wanted to create a functionality similar to that we can see in eclipse editor. when we open files more than a number, only some of the pages are visible on the editor. we can access the rest from the button which shows the names of files. I am doing a web app which contains many menus. sometimes it may be more than a page can contain.in such cases the page shows a scroll bar. i need to avoid the scroll bar and keep a button towards the right end of the tool bar; when the user clicks on the button, the rest of the menus should be shown there.is there anyways to implement this?
i have another problem: how can i hilight the currently selected menu? can i do it using java code and a css class?
Thanks,
Geet

Well, count the items and display the button/menu when there are more than which fits on screen.
i have another problem: how can i hilight the currently selected menu? can i do it using java code and a css class?You normally use CSS for styling, yes.

Using Maverick in two screen setup sometimes the mouse arrow follows the menu bar when I switch screens, and sometimes not. Sometimes the menu bar is on one screen and the mouse is on the other. What am I missing?

Am looking for a simple way to move the mouse arrow to the other screen. Must I go to Apple/System prefs? I assume the mouse arrow and the menu bar should stay together. OK, but how do I access the dock when it is not on the screen with the mouse arrow? Is the Dock unmoveable? What is needed, I guess, is a master screen with mouse, dock and menu bar, and the option to select which screen is master with all those commands available.

You're Welcome...
Another silly suggestion...
Have you done a Restart since you were fiddling around with various settings...?
