Question

Full Screen

Help.
While browsing, I clicked the 'Full Screen' Button and all I see now is the Web Page I'm on.I do get the side bar, but not the top. I thought 'Esc'. would get me out of it, but it doesn't. How do I get back to normal?
O/S is Windows XP and I use Firefox for Internet and Google for Home Page.

there is a little block of horizontal lines.
Click it. It's a menu

It's a toggle on and off switch

Does not work

The problem is that I could not even see that. I did solve that problem by reinstalling Firefox, but now I have a new problem. I no longer have a 'Go back one page' button and I use that a lot. Any idea on how to get that back?

Did you try Firefox's restore feature? Noted at link.
