I went to the Firefox tab on the top left corner of the screen, trying to find something to make the appearance look like the old version because I do not like the new version look, and I selected Full Screen, which I really don't like and I am unable to go back. I tried escape and it didn't work. Please advise and I would really prefer to go back to the old version of Firefox. Can I still download it?

Hit F11.

Thank you for the response, however the F11 key on my computer is the silent mode key.

If you run Firefox in full screen mode then press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle (Mac: command+Shift+F).

If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.

You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the above mentioned shortcut key that applies to you.
