How do I exit the SHOW ALL BOOKMARKS page and return to normal browser view

My dad encountered this on his MacBook Air. When he goes to the SHOW ALL BOOKMARKS page it opens up and takes over the whole screen and eliminates the CLOSE / MINIMIZE / MAXIMIZE buttons on the upper left and all pull down menus. Escape key does not return to normal interface. The only way to get out is to quit or force quit FIREFOX and restart the browser. There should be an easy way to return to the normal browser view, or is this a "feature" of Firefox v47.0? Thanks.
