Happened dozens of times, maybe scores or hundreds, but still don't understand why all at once returning to Safari all my tabs have disappeared. Obviously I had in the meantime clicked on something I shouldn't have, but what exactly
@dalehileman,
I have no clue since I don't use Apple products. That said, a Google search brings this link that may have some help for you:

It isn't an issue of having inadvertently hid the toolbar like a fool. I think it may be the thing that asks you if you would like the window to remain in full screen after you minimize a full screen video in Netflix, Amazon or whatever video you're watching that requires silverlight.
I found a solution:
On the control bar where the Safari icon is located, completely close out of Safari. When you open it back up, the toolbar reappears and stays whilst browsing.

It took some digging to find that answer but it seems to be working. The quick fix did mention that it is a temporary thing so I assume it develops again after a fullscreen video is played in silverlight with that weird prompt.
If that doesn't resolve it for you, try the step by step instructions found here:

@dalehileman,
Have you looked under the couch?
Everything ends up under my couch at one time or another.
@Butrflynet,
But thank you for that, I shall study it
Is an "OS menu bar" the same as tabs
@dalehileman,
After you've done your studying, you tell me. I have no idea.
