Why can't I re-size my brower page?--it takes up the entire screen and I can't make it smaller.

There used to a kind of grab/handle (little arrows) that would allow me to make the browser screen smaller. Now I there doesn't seem to be anything like this. I need to be able to have 2 browser screens side by side on my screen, as I used to be able to do.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).

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.
