Overview
Admin Menu in Frontend adds an option “Show admin menu when viewing site” to your profile. You can enable this option and see the admin menu on the public pages.
Also, you can close the admin panel with returning to the recently viewed public page.
This solution may be good for content managers but not for frontend developers because admin menu may change the design of some themes.
