I’ve got Safari 9.01 on my Mac.

The menu bar (the one with the Apple in the corner, then the menu topics like Safari - File - Edit and so on keeps disappearing, then coming back as I move the mouse around.

Is there a setting I can change to keep it stable and not disappearing?

Sounds like you are in Full Screen view. Under “view” menu at the bottom.
