The menus and space for entering URLs have disappeared from Firefox.
Perhaps I pressed a wrong key somewhere -- how can I get them back?


I think it's F11 for toggling full screen - somewhere around there,
anyway. Though in full-screen mode, I think if you also move the mouse
somewhere (near top of screen is it?) the address box/bar reappears.


Thanks very much. That worked.


You're welcome! (I just checked - it [F11 and mousing to top edge] work
even in my old Firefox 27; I have the feeling they might have been there
in all Firefox, and even perhaps back in Netscape.)

If you're worried that your house is haunted by a ghost and might need
exorcising, there's an easy way of working out if it is or it isn't: it isn't.
