Full Screen Disappearing navigation and bookmarks

Hello, I recently used my MacBook Air to connect with a projector for a classroom presentation. The presentation was using Google Slides. I adjusted the settings to optimize the presentation--setting the navigation and bookmarks bars to hide when in full screen.

I normally use my Firefox browser in full screen mode, but have the navigation bar and tool bar visible.

I cannot figure out how to undo what I did so that my navigation bar and toolbar are visible again when I am in full screen mode. Indeed, when I move the pointer to the top of the screen to make the navigation bar and toolbar visible, I cannot move the pointer back to the navigation bar or toolbar without it disappearing again. Essentially, I need to undo full screen mode.

Thanks, jch

When you are in Full Screen mode, hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. Right-click empty space on a toolbar to find "Exit Full Screen mode" and "Hide toolbars".

Hello, I have this problem too. But it is quite different. When I connect use Firefox on a Windows PC using a projector, some features of the browser do not appears. Maybe its due to screen size or some kind of bug.

Is there any help you can do?

Best Regards,

Maria Samuel.

Could you please start a new thread for your question?

Then you can provide more information like your operating system and installed add-ons and possibly add a screenshot.
