Problems running full screen on laptop with 2nd screen

I decided to try Firefox again with the game I am running called Wartune. I am running a 1080 Sceptre monitor on my ASUS ROG gamer laptop. Whenever I use the full screen option in the game on one screen and go to the other screen, the Firefox side will go back to normal size. It doesn't matter if I am running the Firefox side on the laptop screen or the other additional monitor, the screen size will go back to normal. I have been using Chrome and Internet Explorer and have not had this problem with this app or any others. Unless someone has a solution, I will go back to using Chrome and IE again.

How do you mean FF will side back to normal size? That can mean any size? We need a point of reference here.

Hi, I have 3 ROG boards please make sure you got to ASUS and update and save the newer drivers there and also for this program.

You have not mentioned if running stock out of the box and the cd or if have gone up to ASUS and updated as well go to the ROG support forum for your board and see what others have to say and post there also for info.

I have not contacted ASUS on this issue, but updated all the drivers they had me try on the wireless internet card a few days ago. I do not believe is it an issue with the computer or drivers as it does not loose full screen when I use Google Chrome and Internet Explorer together. It only happens when I run Firefox using two monitors with either one of those. The laptop is about 18 months old and no hardware changes except for adding a wireless mouse have been made to the factory settings. Software and driver updates are kept current.

What I mean by selecting full screen is when all the option bars and menus disappear and the application covers the entire screen. "Normal" is when the options, menus and a border appears around the edges of the application. The menus will re-appear on the main laptop when I drag the cursor to the edge. They do not on the 2nd screen. Every time I attempt to do something on the Non FF screen, the FF reverts from Full to"normal" As mentioned before, it does not matter if FF is running on the laptop screen or the secondary one.
