full screen mode

I would like to run firefox 31.0 in full screen mode. Getting into full screen is no problem. How do you get out of it without using the keyboard shortcut? I understand you can put the icon on the toolbar OR the add-on bar, but i would prefer it in both locations. Is this possible? I really prefer to have it at the bottom of the page on the add on bar, but then it won't show when you want to exit.

I don't suppose it would be possible to customize the right click menu.... that would be the ultimate in customizing.

this solution worked, but it took some doing though... when customizing, i didn't have the window control icons on the tool bar (i kinda wondered why it was included as an option in the first place), but it was in the menu. I just had to add the icon to the toolbar, and it worked out fine. thanks

Look at any Windows window. At the upper right are three buttons. The one that looks like a line will drop the window to the task bar. The one that looks like one or two boxes changes the window between full screen and partial screen (where you can change the size and position of the window). The last button is a red X. This closes that window.

If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.
