How can i see the MENU bar. Help says "Right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip. What is a Tab Strip?

My friend just bought a Windows 8 laptop so I told her to download the latest version of FireFox. Unfortunately, some idiot removed the Menu Bar which most people love. You can see all of your options in plain English. Anyway, I referred her to help and cannot believe it's so hard to get a simple answer to this question. Why does FireFox make it so difficult to get an old fashioned menu bar?
Help says, "Right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip and check Menu Bar". OK, what is a "TAB STRIP" and where does she find it? Who writes these silly, useless help tips?

Grad, you made some good points but we still disagree. I'll acknowledge that maybe millions was a slight exaggeration but nobody has an accurate count. However, I do understand the difference between making something simple and obvious versus a programmer trying to prove how clever he or she is.
Grad, I'm guessing you and your friends are much younger than us as we are well above the age of 50.
As for the number of clicks, I'm confused by your comment. My Menu Bar is always visible so I have to merely '''click once on Bookmarks''' to get to those menu options. It sounds as if you have to initially click on the orange FireFox button in order to see the Menu Bar, and then click a 2nd time on Bookmarks. That sounds like 2 clicks of the mouse to me.
I have Windows 7 and never saw Windows 8 so I can't comment on your excellent question. I personally had the '''Menu Bar displaying 100% of the time''' for as long as I could remember. I just couldn't remember how I initially turned it on several years ago and the help file proved to be more confusing than helpful.

  • I hid the address bar with a right click option, and cannot seem to get it back, how can I do this?

    I was watching some TV on the WB, and their player doesn't have a 'pop out' option, so I opened it in a new window, and hid the address bar with a right click-> hide option or something along those lines, and now I can't seem to get it back with the same methods, nor can I find a way to access properties or anything. All I can see are the tabs I have open and the bookmark bar.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    There are different solutions depending on kind of the problem.
    Keyboard:Alt+V,T,N
    Navigation toolbar, including address bar, should appear
    Then
    Keyboard:Alt+V,T,M
    Menu bar, including File, Edit, View, should appear
    Right-click the bookmark bar
    Click Customize... in the context menu.
    In the Customize Toolbar window which appears find the address bar (It will be shorter) amongst the buttons here.
    Drag the address bar by mouse onto the main window, where you want it to be.

  • How can I see or transfer my old photos from my iOS 6 iPod Touch to the 'Years, Collections, Moments' in my iOS 8 iPhone 5S?

    How can I see or transfer my old photos from my iOS 6 iPod Touch to the 'Years, Collections, Moments' in my iOS 8 iPhone 5S?
    For example, my mom's 'Years, Collections, Moments' in her iPhone 6 has pictures from her old iPhones, even her 3GS

    Greetings Yushk,
    It seems you would like to transfer photos from your previous device to your iPhone 5S. I have linked to an article which may help you. You can transfer those photos to a Mac or PC, then sync them to your new device:
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
    After you import your photos from your iOS device or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • IPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

    What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
    I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions

    It does not look like this is possible with iTunes 11 (or 11.0.1).

F9 fixes the problem until I move the window again . . I realize my version is old so I tried tried downloading XI reader and having the same issue . . any help would be appreciated

    Hi Ernestprinter,
    Check if you have multiple Java versions installed on your computer.
    Try clean boot http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Also i would suggest uninstall security software and install it back.
    Currently you may use F9 key to restore Menu bar.

  • Tabs on Top option doesn't show up in the pop-up menu when I Control-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip in Firefox 15 on MacBook.

    I just updated my Firefox web browser to version 15.0 on my MacBook. I am really used to have Tabs under Address Bar. However, when I Control-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip, there is no "Tabs on Top" option in the pop-up menu.
    Any suggestion on how to find this option would be appreciated.

    That changed in Firefox 15 and is now a hidden preference; the default is for Tabs on Top to be on. To turn Tabs on Top off, you must use about:config. The instructions are the last item on the following page. I have also included a link on how to use about:config

  • How can I get the Menu Bar in P/S Ele. 9 to show in the organizer?

    The Menu bar IS in Edit.  Problem occured when I updated from XP to new computer w/ Windows 7.  There is a small rectangle where the menu bar usually is.  I can click on it and the menu bar opens vertically.  The rectangle can not be seen unless you stand up to locate it.

    The glitches and workarounds include:
    -          The Organizer’s menu bar (File, Edit, etc.) won’t show up. You can either set the Windows text size back to 100% (96 DPI), or you can set the Organizer option Edit > Preferences > General > Use System Font. With the latter, the results aren’t always the prettiest, e.g. the font in the Editor’s menu bar stays small, but the font in the dropdown menus gets large. But this workaround at least lets you keep the text size large so that you can read the text in all your other applications.
    -          The Advanced Dialog in the Photo Downloader won’t be available in PSE 8.  (That also occurs on short displays.) You’ll need to reduce the Windows text size to something less – how much depends on the resolution of your display.
    -          The Editor on Windows 7 can show a mouse cursor for some tools that looks like three distorted shadows of the true cursor.  You’ll need to reduce the Windows text size to less than 150% (149% works fine).
    To change the Windows text size/DPI of your display:
    XP: Start > Control Panel > Display or Start > Settings > Control Panel > Display.   Click Settings > Advanced.
    Vista: Windows Start > Control Panel > Personalization > Adjust Font Size (DPI).
    Windows 7: Start > Control Panel > Display. To choose a custom size, click Set Custom Text Size (DPI) on the left.

  • How can I add "Tools" menu bar item to firefox orange button

    After upgrading to FireFox 4 I decided to hide the menu bar, doing so I am not able to access the addons like "tamper data" which can be accessed only from the tools item of the menubar. Is there a way to customize the orange button of the firefox4 to add tools menu item?

    Thanks for pointing me to the add-on. But is there a way by which I can edit any xul file or any customize option like the customize toolbar.

  • My creative cloud icon has gone from the menu bar on top right hand side of screen

    the creative cloud icon is gone from the menu bar?  How can I get it back?

    Sometimes too many open apps will hide it, but if it closed,
    Restart the Creative Cloud app. Look for it in Spotlight.

  • Running 3.6.6. Have blue bar below the menu bar that says "Downloading the latest applications" with a progress twirly, never ends.

    Running 3.6.6. Tried 4 Beta, window was too large for monitor, couldn't resize, uninstalled. Now I have this blue bar below the menu bar in 3.6.6 that says "Downloading the latest applications" with a progress twirly, never ends. Removed 3.6.6 & reinstalled. Same problem.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I tried 4 beta, then went back to 3.6.6

    That problem can be caused by the MSN® Toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins)

  • 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...?

  • How to create a context menu which appears on right click

    Hello Experts,
    I want to create a context menu which should appear on the right click of a mouse anywhere on the screen.
    I have seen this functionality in one of the sap applications, and i guess this is an inbuild functionality in Webdynpro for ABAP but in WebDynpro Java i haven't found any such inbuild functionality.
    Does anybody have any idea about it ?
    Regards,
    Amol

    Context menus are not supported in NW04 and NW04s, they will be available in the next major release.
