Does anyone know what to do if the "Options" choice has disappeared under the "Tools" menu in Firefox? I am not sure what has happened but I have cleared history, restarted the MacBook, etc. I just don't know what happened to it.
Thanks.![:\](/mac_images/images/smilies/Undecided.png "Undecided :\")

What 'Options' are you looking for as these have not appeared under Tools in version 3.6.x?
To clear history go into Firefox Preferences > Privacy and clear there.

Firefox 3.6.8 here, which has been glitchy since 3.5.9, but anyway.... this is what I have under Tools. I don't recall there being an "options" choice.
Thanks so much. I guess I got confused. Perhaps there used to be an "options" menu under "Tools" but yes, now I have 3.6.8 version of Firefox. I was fooling around with it because I was having trouble with some of my downloads.

The options selection under the Tools menu is in the Windows version of Firefox. On the Mac version you have to go under the Firefox menu and select preferences to get the same thing.

There is no options under tools nor has there ever been to the best of my knowledge on OS X. The preferences dialog is found at Firefox > Preferences. The menu arrangement in Firefox is different across OSes despite the fact that it is the same application.
