I no longer have my top tool bar unless I move my mouse to the top of the screen. I find this very annoying and would like to have it remedied. I do not know if I am in full screen mode or not. I tried to follow the directions to take it off if that is indeed what it is but I do not see anywhere to eliminate it. I no longer have a favorites bar like I do with Internet Explorer. The only reason I have Firefox is because my school recommends it for connecting up with them. Please help me eliminate this screen jumping. Thank you.

Hello,

Yes - it sounds like you have entered Full Screen mode.

You can exit full screen by clicking the F11 key on your keyboard or by right clicking on a blank area of the tab strip and selecting 'Exit Full Screen Mode'.

Use Firefox in Full Screen mode

I hope that helps. Let me know if not.
