No menus scopes terminal

If you log in as guest, is it OK please?

Thank you for the reply. I am currently logged on an old 14.04 Live CD, so I will have to log off and try the Guest login. Yesterday I managed to get Firefox running by opening on old html document, and then web searcing led me to bug 1735594 and recommendation to use ctrl + alt + f3 to get a terminal and then install kernel 116, but that made no difference. The Firefox screen had no menus or scroll bar, there was no top bar and no launchers on the left side. My PC is a 2009 Dell Inspiron and I am running Ubuntu 16.04, progressively updated from the original install of 14.04.
Regards

Further information - having logged back on using the guest account the screen layout is normal. Though of course I cannot access any of my files .

If you run:

su foo
sudo apt update
sudo apt install unity-tweak-tool

Change foo for your usual username. You can then log off, log in as your normal user. You use the tweak tool to set default settings

Thank you for your suggestion. I ran those commands but on logging back
into Unity again I still have no top bar no side bar with launchers and
no function on keyboard shortcuts like ctrl + alt + T and I cannot use
the unity tweak tool since there is no way to start it.

I have installed the Lubuntu  desktop and am going to have to get used
to using that from now on I suppose, as it appears that Unity is fatally
broken.

Regards
