When I open a site, it fills the whole page and I cannot minimize it or get to another page simultaneously. The only option I currently have is to put the cursor in the upper left corner and only the tab for the current site is shown.

Chosen solution

Firefox may be using full screen view. To switch to normal view try either:

  • The F11 key on the keyboard
  • Slide your mouse pointer up to the top of the screen and right-click (or try the Mac equivalent for a one-button mouse)

Do either of those work?
