Turning off automatic screen maximizing

more options

Hi,

I'm having an annoying glitch since the recent Firefox update. Now, when I am looking at a webpage the tabs at the top of the screen disappear and the webpage automatically maximizes and, to see your tabs you have to hover at the top of the screen to see them again. I do NOT want that! I want to see my tabs at all times! How do I change the settings so that I can do that? I sincerely hope that this "improvement" can be deactivated!
