Then this article is for you. Well, the Internet Explorer 9 hides a certain essentials like menu bar in order to give more canvas space to the user.

To check the IE plug-ins, you can right click on the title bar or on the address bar. The context menu opens up showing the tools available with the browser. Tick the toolbar you want from the displayed image so that the toolbar becomes visible on the IE 9 browser. If its still not showing up, restart the browser. You can also check the Manage Add-ons dialog to verify whether the tool is disabled by some IE component.
