I have multiply tabs open and Firefox only filling part of my screen (I have a large desktop monitor). If I close one of the tabs by clicking the X the browser goes into full screen mode. Why?

Hi aybracers, This sounds strange. Can you provide a screenshot of where you are clicking? It may clear up how to reproduce this as well!
