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

I have an IPod 2nd generation I bought from a pawn shop. It worked for a day but now when I try to charge it, it keeps switching back and forth from the large full screen icon of a low battery and a lighting bolt below to the blue screen with the apple symbol in the middle. I had it on charge all night but still dead.

Menu bar no longer appears in full screen mode
For some reason today my menu bar no longer shows up when I move the mouse to the top of the screen in any application. I have tried restarting several times, opening and closing applications, taking apps in and out of full screen, ran disk utility. All to no avail.
Not sure if this is related, but I attached an external drive and booted to the recovery volume on my mac to install Lion on the external drive. It hung at the download so I quit and rebooted to my main drive. Everything worked normally except for the menu bar.
Software up to date, 2008 MacBook Pro with no attachments.
Any ideas?After not using the computer for 30 minutes, the menu bar is now working again. Must be a bug...

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.
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. -
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.

The userChrome.css file is not related to the Google Chrome browser.
Here is a description of the userChrome.css file: http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html
On Windows you can find it in %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\YOURPROFILE\userChrome.css
If you parse the code from avatarx into the file your add-on bar shows up in fullscreen mode.
Thanks to avatarx for the code since i had the same problem. -
See above
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

The menu bar is missing AND the article about the full screen issue is NOT WORKING.
<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [[/questions/929810]]</blockquote>
The entire Firefox window is visible (including tabs, x and +). I can enter and exit full screen, and the menu bar does not reappear.If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.

When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!
Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out. This is ridiculous.
I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction. -
Button to close Full Screen in Menu bar is missing. Bug or Configuration issue?
Hi,
OS 10.7 has the option to view applications in Full Screen mode.
According to the demo video on the Apple site, there should be a button right to the Spotlight icon to close the Full Screen Mode.
On my Macbook Pro I don't see this button.
Is this a bug or a configuration issue on my system?\
Regards,
AnthonieAfter using full-screen mode for a while between scrivener full-screen and safari full-screen, now I want to turn of the fullscreen of safari, but that icon that should appear whenever you put the mouse up on the right corner, nothing appears. So, I do not have any option to turn off the full-screen mode in safari-except when I put my mouse on the very down and push one more time, then dock appears, and there I can quit safari, but as I said I do not want to quit Safari, I want to turn of fullscreen mode of Safari... Is this a bug or what?

My safari menu bar is missing. The menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc. I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away when borrowing my computer. Any ideas how to retrieve it? Thanks.
I too was having the same problem However, I could access both the menu bar and the dock by hovering my mouse over them so it wasn't a huge problem but I prefered having it there anyway. I was not in full screen mode and I could still go into full screen mode if I wanted to. I found the easiest solution was to just quit safai and restart it, but it might not work for you considering you couldn't access you menu bar either way.
I found this article that allows you to hide/show the menu bar and the dock through TextEdit (didn't work for me) http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2009/07/hide-the-menubar-or-dock-in-specific-app s.html It is pretty old so it might not work for lion and a bit risky if you don't know what you're doing so I wouldn't really recommend doing it this way.
And KSheppard, I know it's not really any of my buisness, but the way to get answers to a question isn't by insulting others and being quick-tempered. Even if you feel like you were insulted first, don't try snapping at people who aren't obligated to help you. Honestly, it just makes everything easier if everybody is cooperative and polite. -

My mailboxes have disappered under the menu bar at the top of the screen. Ican see them if I drag the screen down but they pop back up when I try to click on them. How can I drag them down below the menu bar?
Well, in the end I contacted Apple and it was rather hit and miss but the problem was solved by deleteing the com.apple.mail.savedState file. It took them a bit of time to sort it out and I had to be promoted up the chain of support but it worked. Hope this is of use to others with the same problem,

I used to have an icon on my menu bar at the top of my screen to help me detect displays (monitors) It has disappeared and I don't know how to get it back. Does anyone know?
Your's may look more like this...
...if you're running Mountain Lion. I'm in clamshell mode right now, so I don't have any mirroring options. AFAIK, there's no more "Show displays in menu bar" in Mountain Lion.

I cant resize, minimize/maximize because the top bar of the browser has disappeared and the browser window now occupies my entire screen, I can no longer tab back and forth using the ubuntu menu bar at the bottom of the screen. I have to pull down from File to quit, there is bar at the top that I can click on with my mouse. I did this accidentally and rather quickly by clicking with the mouse on something late last night, and I can't correct or even find out what I've done
My home page background has a design on it. How can I change it back to its original plain background.
