After adding the full page icon to the add-on bar, how can I get the add-on bar back?

more options

I need to take a snap shot of my screen and part of the info was beneath the add-on bar. I opened the customisation panel and dragged the full screen icon to the add-on bar. The add-on bar disappeared as expected and I was able to take the required snap shot of the screen.

My problem now is that I cannot drag the full screen icon back to the customisation panel because it and the add-on bar are no longer there.

What can I do to fix this?

Chosen solution

First, to switch back to normal view, you can do either of these:

  • F11 key
  • right-click at the very top of the screen for a menu item to exit Full Screen

When you have normal view, if the Add-on bar is gone, try one of these:

  • Ctrl+/
  • right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Add-on bar
  • Alt+v (calls up the classic View menu) > Toolbars > Add-on bar

Can you get back to where you want to be?
