I think the question pretty well summed it up. I selected full screen mode from the "firefox" drop-down box at the top left, but once in full screen mode, the drop-down box is not available. How do I get back to the standard view??

Chosen solution

Press the F11 key to toggle into and out of full screen mode.

Or, move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen and right-click the "+" (new tab) button, or in a blank area of the tab bar, or in a blank area after the address box, and exit full screen mode from the context menu.

You can also click the Maximize button at the right hand side of the Navigation Toolbar that appears if you hover the mouse to the top to leave full screen mode.
