Try pressing one of the buttons for more than 3 seconds, most likley the right one.

First picture looks like a desktop firefox (no 3-dots menu symbol in the top-right corner). His OS would (probably) also let him use a desktop firefox, although he could be using a different user-agent string with a windows OS I.D. in it.

@albatros44, tell the others here what your device's OS is (read = android, windows 7-8-10, iOS), because if you're using a desktop firefox, you'll get better help if this topic gets moved to here.
viewforum.php?f=38
The "Mobile" forum is for mobile versions of firefox, so some advice for those firefoxes doesn't work for desktop firefoxes.

By the way, if you really are using a desktop firefox (I'm sure that somebody else can help you figure that out for sure), then this topic will fix your problem easily.

Thats clearly not a desktop (windows) Firefox, but an Android version.

The 3 dots are not present on all devices, they are missing when the device has a defined menu-button.

On some devices that leads to confusion, for example some acer devices have no button AND no 3-dot symbol. In case of acer the "apps" button becomes the "menu" button after pressing it for three seconds.

What kind of device is it?

I would have thought someone would create an add-on for this by now...
