Bookmarks and History Windows Stuck in (always open, cannot exit) Full Screen on mac os 10.8

After I exit full screen in Firefox on mac os 10.8, the Bookmarks/History window continues to always open in full screen, and the mac os Menu Bar no longer shows up on the top - in fact, the dock doesn't show up, the hot-corners don't work. I can close the window with the keyboard shortcut, but the F11 'exit full screen' shortcut does NOT work. Nothing I can think of works except just closing the window. Next time it opens in this "stuck" full screen mode again.

Any ideas? Any help? Thank you!

Thanks, but as I said above - F11 does not work when I am looking at the bookmarks window. Only Cmd-W works to close it. But I would like to be able to access the menu bar and other functions when I have the Bookmarks window open.

P.S. Just do add the "downloads" window to the symptoms: it is permanently stuck in full screen mode as well. I tried restarting in "safe mode" but that didn't fix it. I suspect it may be a bug...

On Mac you need to use another shortcut key to toggle full screen mode: command+Shift+F

You can check for problems with the localstore.rdf file.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder

You can also try to remove the Firefox plist file (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

Go to "~/Library/Preferences" and remove the plist file for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist)

Like fn11, cmd-shift-F doesn't work.

Deleting localstore.rdf unlocks the bookmarks window and returns it to normal, but then the same behavior is reproduced when I go to full screen, and the same problem appears with the new localstore.rdf.

Deleting the org.mozilla.firefox.plist didn't even unlock the bookmarks window from its full-screen stuck position.

I guess I will just stick to using cmd-W to close the window.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.
