Another "Quirk" of Firefox is that when you need to print a page frtom the net you need to press left Alt to see the c; File, Edit etc. appear in the top left of your screen. No problem once your'e used to it, just a quirk!ontrols

You can also reach your Bookmarks from the Firefox tab on the top left.

No need to go copying your bookmarks. All you need to do is make a backup see here http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20and%20restoring%20bookmarks

"Another "Quirk" of Firefox is that when you need to print a page....................."


It's called "Menu Bar"
Depending upon the version of firefox, ensure MenuBar is ticked.
File (  ;D ) , View, Toolbars , MenuBar
or if you can't see that menu
select by rightclick  "<" (second box from left)
select "MenuBar"

That's Firefox 8, Don't remember 7, 6, 5, 4

The items on the menu bar can be seen by clicking on the orange "Firefox" button, top left corner.
It's your choice, which you find easier :)

When I got this computer new about two years ago   I opted not to get  updates from microsoft.    I notice no  problems in  not getting updates over that period of  time.


Most people don't notice the floods of spam emanating from their compromised computer until they start getting letters from their ISP.

Hi

The attached is a piccie of Firefox Version 8 as per Bob's instructions.

As you can see the options in the "orange button" for (my) version 8
 are not quite the same as the version Bob is running.

 ;D

LizzieW - not sure if I've understood, but you can access the menu bar via
View > Tool Bars

By the way you can back up your Firefox Bookmarks via
Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Backup

(just done it - thanks for the indirect reminder as it was too long since I last did it)
