Under the Firefox tab I chose full screen but now I can't change it back. How can I do this?

I would like to be able to see the bottom bar (with the clock and other open programs) but since I chose the "full screen" option I have to minimize Firefox before I can see that bar. I have tried the alt key but it does not show this bar. I can use alt-tab to joggle between screens but I would still like to know how to disable this function. Thank you!

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 F11.
