The current tab that I'm on covers my whole screen. To see the other tabs that are open I have to move my cursor to the top of the screen & then move it sideways to select another tab. To see what other programs are running, I have to minimize Firefox. I can't even see the Date & Time posted by Windows. I'm running Windows 7 Professional.

Hit F11 in keyboard. (now you are in full screen mode by mistake).

I just tried F11 but the problem remained. Thanks though.

Try this: hover your cursor where menubar and addressbar are found in normal mode (you should see them dropping down)and click the restore/maximize button, now probably you will exit full screen.

thanks again
