I think I stopped using them when the browsers inexplicably lost their menus.

I don't really understand why the menus went away from the top of web browser, since desktop screen space hasn't been an issue since the late '90s, even on laptops.

You can put a bookmark folder with no title in the toolbar next to the addressbar, into which you put whatever you want. In Firefox, that works out of the box. Recently I switched to Vivaldi, and I had to use some css tweak to do it:

Same reason as many other design problems:

- prioritizing graphical design over usability

- and prioritizing copying Chrome and Mac OS over following "local" OS guidelines

Firefox has menus on the top, unless the user hides them.

Isn’t it hidden by default? I installed Firefox on a new machine a few months ago and I could swear I had to unhide it.

It's hidden but it shows up if you press Alt.

I've never hidden anything, yet my Firefox only has an out-of-place mobile style menu.
