View webpages in full screen
In many applications on the Mac, including Safari, you can expand the window to fill your entire screen. You can make a webpage full-screen with one click, and switch to another webpage (or full-screen window in another application) with a swipe of the trackpad.
IMPORTANT:Viewing in full screen, and the Mission Control feature, are available only if you have Mac OS X v10.7 Lion or later. For information on upgrading Mac OS X, go to the Mac OS X website.

To enlarge a webpage so it uses the screen, click the arrows in the top-right corner of an application window:
To move from one window to another in full screen view, swipe left and right, or press the arrow keys on your keyboard.
To return to standard view, click the arrows in the window’s upper-right corner:
If you prefer viewing webpages in full screen, Mission Control lets you see everything running on your Mac, including your full screen windows. Mission Control presents your full screen windows as thumbnail images, making it easy for you to move from one to another.

The bar that says "File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, help" has disappeared and I would like it to appear all the time.

Near the top of the screen on the left side, the words "File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, help" does not appear consistently. Sometimes if I hit "alt" they will appear. I would like to keep those words to appear constantly. Let me know what I can do. Thanks

You can add a solid color theme to change the color of the top of the browser window, which includes the Menu Bar.

Why does the fire fox page change, sometimes it is just an orange fire fox button on the top left that opens a panel with all the things listed in it and then it sometimes has a bar across the top that says File, Edit, View, History, bookmarks, tools, Help? I barely get used to using one type of set up and then it changes to the other without me doing anything??

I downloaded Firefox 3.6 and now my tool bar is gone. No back arrows, forward arrows, file, edit, view, history, bookmark, tools....how do I get my web browser to look like a regular browser again?

I downloaded the new Mozilla web browser and I had a Bing homepage setting. I changed back to yahoo but I ever since downloading I dont have any back arrows, forward arrows, file, edit, view, history, bookmark, tools, address bar....how do I get my web browser to look like a regular browser again?

F9. Some documents hide the menu bar deliberately, or you could have hit F9 by accident.

I accidentally deleted the web address input bar at the top of the screen as well as the area that says things such as 'File' 'View' 'History' etc... how do I get it back?

I've tried deleting firefox and redownloading it, but it won't come back. All I have at the top now are bookmarks and open tabs, it's getting really annoying when I want to post or share a web address and I can't because the bar is gone.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I accidentally told it to hide the options

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

I have Firefox 7.0.1 and i need the task "File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help" in German

Since last week i Have the version 7.0.1 and its in english. How can i get it in German? I mean "File, Edit etc."

To have the Firefox interface including all menus and built-in features in a different language you need to simply install the different localized version. Note that you will not lose any of your data by simply reinstalling Firefox. You can download Firefox in any supported language here:
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

I don't have one single button for Firefox menu in spite of downloading Firefox 5 Version. The page presentation has File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools and Help. Why my page is different from the feature shown in your product presentation ?

I have not Windows NT.
'''I have Windows 7'''

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options. 
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily. 
You can place the Tab Bar on top.
* View > Toolbars : [ ] Menu Bar
* View > Toolbars : [X] Tabs on Top

I used to have a tab to the right of the search box that gave me options like incognito, delete cache, history and so on - how can I get them back ?

I lost it when I reinstalled Firefox, but I was already using the latest version. I think I must have installed an add-on or a plug-in, but I can;t seem to find whatever it was that I had installed.

Hi polarman,
Thank you for you question. This information is stored in the Profile Folder. However since you reinstalled Firefox I do not know if that information is still in that Folder.
The add on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-profile-folder/ Open Profile Folder] can be installed to open the folder that should have that information. If it is there[[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]] may be useful to you.
If you have a back up of that Folder from before you reinstalled you can import stuff from an old folder: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
If it is not there, it is pretty easy to rebuild the profile. Go to Tools > Add ons and search for the features you had there before.
If you have any other questions please start a new thread :-)

After several hours of inactivity, the tabs are blank with noway to tell them apart without clicking on them. also the menu bar is there but the words 'File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help' are blank. also the drop down menus are blank.

The links are there. I can click on them. I'm just can not see what I'm clicking on. The info on the tabs comes back but only when I click on that tab. rebooting every 24 hours fixes the problem temporarily.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

My tool bar is now (file edit view history bookmark tools help) is a dark grey with black letters, very hard to read as is the Firefox bar above it

above details issue

Choose another theme/persona OR switch to the "Default" theme.
