Every time I use Firefox it defaults to a full screen view that I cannot get out of without aborting the application because I cannot use any other controls

This never happened until a few days ago and I didn't knowingly do anything to bring it about. I also just now uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but that didn't help anything. My internet explorer and all other applications work fine. It is only Firefox that now automatically goes to a full screen view when I launch it and I do not know how to get out of it except by aborting by using ctr+alt+del

Hello,

Try pushing F11 key on the keyboard. This should be a shortcut key to toggle full screen on and off. I am also giving you a link on how to turn full screen mode on and off.

Use Firefox in Full Screen mode
