I don't know what you're saying. Are you saying that what happens to me also happens to you but only when your cursor is in the address bar and you press F11?

Yes, if I click on the page before pressing F11, it works normally. Or if the cursor was in the address bar when I press F11, if I click the page, the toolbars roll up.

None of that works for me. I'm on Windows 11. Restarting the PC doesn't help either. Fullscreen mode used to work months ago, now it's broken.

Could you check your toolbar auto-hide setting. There are two places to access it:

(1) After pressing F11, right-click any of the 3 Windows buttons on the right. If there isn't a checkmark next to Hide Toolbars, click Hide Toolbars. (Screenshot attached.)

(2) If you are not able to summon that menu, here's how to access the setting through the back door:

(a) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk. More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox.

(b) In the search box in the page, type or paste browser.fullscreen.autohide and pause while the list is filtered (c) If the preference is bolded and has a value of false, double-click it (or click the Toggle button or Reset button at the right end of the row) to restore the default value of true
