When I use foxfire, the opened tab is too small to be useful.

The box is so small that I must use the side bars constantly to read anything at all. it is frustrating and confusing. What can I do to get the entire screen instead of just a part of it. It is about 4 x 4 on my MacBook Pro. I can see my entire desktop around it.

Hello,

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

The answer was here on this website:

shift + control + f

It worked. I just have to remember it.

Thank you.

Sounds that you were running Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
