All of a sudden Firefox's menus are gone

[Tom_ZeCat]

Attention all software companies: I DO want to use pull-down menus!

I've preferred FireFox because, unlike Chrome, it gave you the option of turning on the pull-down menus that it's had since its inception. Apparently until now if I'm not mistaken. I let FireFox update in Kubuntu's update system. Now I feel like I've downgraded. All of the pull-down menus are gone. WTF? With previous versions, you could click on the FireFox logo and choose "more options" and then choose to turn pull-down menus back on. Not in this version. Now that option appears to be gone. And I don't see a thing for bookmarking either.

Have I missed something? Is that option in there and I've overlooked it?

At the top of the Firefox screen, right-click and check Menu Bar. Is that what you mean?

Rt-click (in an empty space) kind of above the tab level but below the very top line that says Mozilla Firefox.

Found it! The menus are back. Thanks to everyone. I don't get the anti-menu movement, but I'm glad I can keep them at least in Firefox.

[scarcasm] well you know those 16-22 vertical pixels are in high demand now so people can't waste them with menu bars... [/scarcasm] but seriously i don't get the anti menu movement either. i suspose people like toolbars and find a menu to confusing . i find toolbars to be a waste of space as the stuff they present is always in the drop down menus so lets save at lest 24 vertical pixels and remove all toolbars instead after all 24 > 22 so more space will be saved (even more on those system with huge icons.)

I agree with you. Microsoft's atrocious Ribbon system was the first step in getting me into Kubuntu full-time. I found it so awkward and time consuming that I simply didn't upgrade at first. I kept using Office XP. I had never even upgraded to '03, which offered no improvements, but at least was no worse. So I stuck around in the older version of Office hoping Microsoft would see the wisdom of giving users the choice. I hate the Ribbon, but I recognize that we don't all work the same and maybe that interface is right for some people. The way to serve its customers best would have been to leave the choice up the the user. No such luck. Some third-party utilities could bring back the old menus, but they did not let you access them with the Alt key. So I went to LibreOffice for Windows. Then Microsoft brought out Windows 8, which was a tablet OS that I did not want on my PC. That was the last straw and I installed Kubuntu. Bye-bye, Microsoft. You're fired.

My next step: Learning some C++ so that I can create some features I want for LibreOffice.

I do have one other office suite, a proprietary one named SoftMaker Office. It does a few things LO Office doesn't, but mostly I like LO Office better.
