3 days ago Firefox suddenly took over my entire screen. I can't see or access "Bookmarks", etc.

Why did the window enlarge & take over the entire Window? Howcan this be corrected?

I tried re-installing Firefox through Internet Explorer and that didn't change how Firefox is acting.

See also Firefox > Full Screen and F10 -> View > Full Screen

If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.
