I do not like to use the full screen display feature while operating at Google addressed web sites. With Version 3.6.22 I could always switch from Full screen(maximize) to the reduced size screen ((Minimize) by selecting the green object at the top of the Firefox screen , version 3.6.22 did not have this problem. If I switch to Apple's Safari browser and Google I do not have this problem. Should I uninstall Firefox or can I return to the earlier version of Firefox?

Hi rhnesso- I'm not completely sure I understand your question, but I'll take a shot. When you mention the green button, I'm think of the red/yellow/green buttons that are used to maximize/minimize a browser window. In Firefox 3.6.23 and above the same buttons exist on the top of the browser, but display as 'x' '-' '+', but without colors. The '+' button will make the browser expand to full size and contract to a smaller size by clicking on it multiple times.

Firefox 3.6.23 is the oldest supported version of Firefox. I would recommend updating to the latest Firefox version here:

Hope that helps!
