Brave menubar missing

Updated Brave, Linux Mint all updated, latest. I did nothing else and now the menu bar at top is missing, no option to restore found inside any setting, no Youtube relevant results, no relevant online search results, nothing works. All inquiries here were closed years ago and no answers found there, either. The menu bar was there this AM. i clicked the “Update” button on Brave and it is now 100% gone. Rebooted many times now, checked for all updates to everything.

Did these companies all remove the top menu bars? The items on it are now all gone. (File/Edit/View?Window/Tools/Bookmarks/History/Help. A few are on the side bar, not all.

Thanks,

@knucklehead76,
Thank you for reaching out.
Are you referring to the system menu bar (shown on macOS here):

I am. I did nothing to make it go away and it will not return. I have given up.

@knucklehead76,
Do you see the menu bar appear when other browsers/apps are open?

It never comes up, at all. No matter what is opened, what I do.

If you are not seeing the menu bar when other apps are opened, then something must have changed with respect to the OS. Brave browser (or any app, AFAIK) doesn’t have the power to remove system-based functionality like that — especially not system wide.

I thought you meant do I see them in Brave when I open other apps, etc. No other apps displayed this missing menu bar except Brave. Only Brave has this issue.

When this happened I removed and reinstalled as a fresh install Brave, and it has zero add-ons or extensions. It is a standard install. No extensions or add ons ever even did that before, but there are none. Nothing at all was changed, nothing out of the normal, system updates many times a day, every day. For years. Nothing in it was changed, it simply disappeared last night/yesterday afternoon and has been gone since.

So no one knows why? It ihas been asked before, nothing seemed to help them either. Was it removed? Removed, unbeknownedst to us?
