I have a 17"in screen laptop. The webpages do not cover the entire screen, so when I change the view to FULL SCREEN, my Bookmarks Toolbar disappears. Is this normal?

The webpage view looks like I'm watching a wide screen movie on a regular screen TV. There is a top border and bottom border of the desktop showing. The only way to have the webpage cover the whole screen is to change the view to "view full screen". When I do that (each and every time), the bookmarks toolbar disappears. So, I have to exit full screen mode, click on a bookmark and then click to view full screen again. Is this the way it should look on a 17in screen?

Yes. In full screen mode all toolbars are hidden and only the navigation toolbar and the tab bar show if you hover the mouse to the top of the screen. You can try to drag then Bookmarks Menu button (with drop marker) on the Navigation Toolbar or the Tab bar to get access to the bookmarks in full screen mode. You will have to hide the Bookmarks Toolbar to make that button appear on another toolbar.

Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
