I don't know how I got into full screen mode first of all and I can not figure out how to get out of full screen mode. I have a tablet, my toolbar with the menu symbol is missing at the top and the bar at the bottom is missing. I don't have any keys with "F" features, so I can't press F11. Does anyone else have this problem? I have windows 8.

Argh. There aren't many things more frustrating than an app hogging your entire screen.

Do you have a compact keyboard? If so, there should be a key labelled fn and another key which is labelled F11 (maybe in blue writing). Try holding down fn and press the F11 key.

Alternatively touching or swiping right at the very top of the screen should reveal Firefox's toolbar - you can press the New Fx Menu at the top right and then select full screen to shrink Firefox back down to size.

Hope those ideas help! :)
