I want to disable full screen mode, so FF behaves like a normal window

In OSX the group of three buttons in the upper left of the window control window size. I would like to have the right button do what it does in a standard window (resize the window to maximum) and NOT go full screen. I like menu bars. It might be a useful feature but over riding default system behavior is pretty yucky.

Thanks

Did you recently update to OS X 10?

Apple - OS X Yosemite - Design:

Not only have we streamlined their look, but we’ve also updated their functions. Close, minimize, and maximize are now close, minimize, and full screen, eliminating the extra full‑screen control and consolidating the window controls in one place.
