In Firefox 3.6 on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
Press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide.

I am missing the choices of "File, Edit, View, Tools, etc., at the top of my page, how do I get them back?

at the top of the screen....where you can click on FILE or EDIT or VIEW or TOOLS....etc., that entire line is missing from my Firefox window....how do I get them back?

Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. 
The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

Ever since the latest update, my task bar (if it's called that - it's the one with "file,edit,view, etc") will "grey out" and I won't be able to type into any websites I visit. Only way to fix:either restart Firefox or reduce the window and open it again.

Ever since the latest update, my task bar (if it's called that - it's the one with "file,edit,view, etc") will "grey out" and I won't be able to type into any websites I visit. Only way I can proceed is if either restart Firefox (very annoying) or reduce the window and open it again. Please help!

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

I don't have a Firefox Tab. Instead I still have remnants of the old Firefox tabs in my upper left corner (file, edit, view, history, etc.). I also don't have a home button or a private browsing botton in my toolbar, do I need to install these my self?

My operating system is windows vista. I update my Adobe plugins to be current. What else should I do?

It had a tool bar at the top with File, Edit, View, History, bookmarks, etc.
Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and check "Menu Bar".
Your bookmarks are accessible from the Bookmarks button on the navigation toolbar. It's the wide button on the right side of the address bar with a star to its left.
Your history is accessible from the History button under the ≡ Menu Button panel. You can right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize, then drag the History button onto the navigation toolbar if you like (that's the area with the Back/Forward buttons and the address bar).
If you'd like to completely revert Firefox's appearance, install the Classic Theme Restorer add-on and restart Firefox when prompted.

I can't seem to find the bar with "file, edit, view, etc". I can view it if I press "alt", but when I hit any other key it disappears again. The back and forward arrow, house, refresh and "url" space is missing

Lately in Acrobat Pro Ver 9 for Win 7 the menu bar (File, Edit, View, Document etc) disappears when I move the window . . only happens when I have a pdf file open . . everything worked fine until a few days ago . . 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.

Firefox was fine earlier today.Now, I have no access or visualization of the Main Menu (File/Edit/View/Bookmarks,etc) What happened and how can I fix?

Turning the Menu Bar on and off is a new feature in version 3.6.

File, edit, view, history, etc. will NOT open on menu bar how to fix

The file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, help options on the menu bar will not open. This started to happen, intermittently, in the last few hours . . . and, now, seems permanent. I suspect an update. There are, also, other options which will not open. I cannot use my address book on webmail because of this and am in dire need of a solution.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

I have a tool bar with "file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, yahoo, tools, & help" at the topp of may FIREFOX, How do it get these moved to a different line?how do I move

The listed features "file...help" were in different places on a prior version of Firefox. About three weeks ago, I tried to get some updates to Firefox. A few days later I noticed the changes were made. How and why that happened, I don't know.

Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden. 
You can 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

In the topmost Firefox menu with File,Edit,View,History,Bookmarks, I can not get the list of bookmarks to display as they did before. The Bookmarks menu does not open up into the list of bookmarks.

I am running Mac os 10.6.8 and Firefox 6.0.1 on a MacBook Pro and on a desktop Macintosh.
The large computer displays a list of bookmarks when you click on the uppermost Bookmarks menu.
The MacBook Pro displays the following when you click on the Bookmarks word in the top menu:
"Show all Bookmarks, Bookmark this Page, Bookmark all Tabs and an icon with a blue dot next to Bookmarks Toolbar with an arrow to the right and below that it says Unsorted Bookmarks.
There is no display of the list of bookmarks from which I can chose as I do on the larger desktop macintosh computer.
How can I get the list of bookmarks to show as a list when I click the Bookmarks menu?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

You can also try to move (delete) the Firefox plist file. 
See [http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060606082246983 How .plist files become corrupt and troubleshooting the results]
Go to "Library > Preferences" and remove the plist file for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

Where is my missing toolbar with - file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools & help. Where has it gone and how do I get it back?

I am missing the tool bar which goes directly underneath the blue Mozilla/Firefox banner. My other tool bar remains unchanged eg. back/forward buttons, refresh page button, etc. are still there and work normally. Where are my bookmarks and how do I get them back?

With Firefox 3.6.2 you are a few versions behind on updates. You should update to the latest Firefox version via Help > Check for updates.
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

Update the [[Java]] plugin to the latest version.
