For many years, we Firefox users know the menu bar is on top of window. But recently Firefox changed, it hides menu by default, and we should press Alt to show it. For many users this feature is not comfortable so here the easy way to show the menu bar permanently again. I use Firefox 52.0.1 on Ubuntu MATE 17.04 to do this. This is applicable to another version on another OS such as Windows or MacOS
