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



    F11 key

    It's a toggle key - on/off.

    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.

    That's how he [Dr. Who] seems to me. He's always been someone who gets the /Guardian/. There are some parts of the universe where it's harder to get hold of. - Peter Capaldi (current incumbent Doctor), RT 2016/11/26-12/2

    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. - Victoria Coren Mitchell, quoted in RT 2017/10/7-13

    The F11 thing is useful to know (which I didn't). F12 also does some interesting things.
