I don’t want to remember any numbers for exiting full screen mode. Cmd-Shift F is easier to remember, even though it’s 3 keys, as it’s a command (Cmd) for full screen (F). And Shift because Cmd-F is already occupied by "Find",

Even the Start button at the bottom of the screen is gone. I still had my tabs, though. F11 key does NOTHING now. Bumping the cursor at the top of the page does NOTHING. Turning the computer off &amp; back on does NOTHING. I already had this FF page open (trying to get the F11 key to work).Thank the cybergods that the Navigation Bar spontaneously reappeared, but the other toolbars are still gone.

Not F11, not Fn F11, not esc, not even rebooting. Aargh.

</p><p>Firefox's solution is novel, inefficient and not very intuitive, especially after positioning the mouse in a unique location to find that tiny righthand corner button to get back to my default viewing screen. Esoteric and not very user friendly.
