Return the "Menu Bar" of the browser

Greetings, dear readers. Today, our topic will be devoted, as always, to a rather topical issue. It will be useful to adherents of such an Internet browser as Mazila Firefox. So, let's talk about where the "Menu Bar" of the browser disappears, and how to return it to its original place again.

A bit of background. Users began to be puzzled by this question when they updated their version of Chanterelle to the fourth. The toolbar for Firefox has stopped displaying. Because of this, many began to panic. But I hasten to please you. The developers did not pursue this goal. First of all, this was done so that the area in which the content of the pages is reflected becomes larger, and you have to spin the wheel of your manipulator less. This innovation was not invented. In Opera, Safari and Chrome, it was a long time ago.

Immediately various forums were filled with questions, how to configure the browser in the new version? And everything is elementary. Where the "Menu Bar" of the browser used to be, now there is another, very small one, which contains all the necessary functions. If you go there, you will be available "Bookmarks", "Extras", "Downloads", "Journal", "Saving pages" and other sections that are in demand.

But if you want to change the scale, look and choose the encoding, or you need to use the preview - all this you can still do. The browser menu bar did not disappear. Simply, starting with the fourth version, it is hidden by default. If desired, all this is easily returned. If you need it, right-click the manipulator in an empty area (I always do this to the right of open tabs), and then select the checkbox next to the "Menu Bar" item.

But it’s fair to say that we don’t really need the “Menu Bar” of the browser. Firstly, it’s much more convenient to browse the pages. Secondly, you can use one hot key combination that works not only in Chanterelle, but also in any Microsoft applications equipped with a menu. The Alt button on the keyboard brings up a menu, and if you press it in combination with other keys, you may not need a mouse at all. In almost all programs, opposite each menu item is a button that, in combination with Alt, opens a specific section.

And since the conversation turned to the mouse, I want to advise you to disable the launch of your machine when it is in standby or sleep mode, using the manipulator. Since in this case, the inclusion can occur randomly and at the wrong time.

Of course, each user decides for himself whether he should have a menu bar in the browser or not. But before making a final decision, think carefully about whether you really need it so that you sacrifice a useful area of ​​the window. After all, entering the necessary settings sometimes is enough only once. Yes, and many of them can be called using the shortcut menu. People work in other equally popular browsers, such as Chrome, Safari and so on. Maybe it’s really worthwhile to remove this panel and get more usable space?
