Is there a button or key on the keyboard that removes the toolbars and book marks etc. Mine keep disappearing and I don't know what I am doing to cause it. Can they be restored with the same keyboard shortcut?

Maybe it's Firefox's full screen mode?

On Windows, the F11 function key will trigger full screen mode, and pressing the key again should return Firefox to normal. Alternately, if you slide your mouse to the top of the screen, the toolbar area should roll down so you can exit full screen from the menu, or right-click a blank area of the tab bar for a very short context menu with that option.

Note: this is different from when you call up full screen from a button in a video player; in that case, the Esc key restores the normal view.

The next time it happens I will see if that F11 function works to restore it. Also I will see if I can notice that I am hitting that F11 by accident somehow. Thanks.
