Firefox is filling the entire screen so that the controls are off the top & bottom of the screen, & I have to log off the computer to get out of Mozilla.

Usually, there are controls at the top & bottom of the screen, & I can log off whatever program I'm in, but now Firefox is filling the whole screen: I can go from one tab to another within Firefox; however, I can't get out of Firefox without logging off the computer.

It is possible that the screen is too high and that the title bar and status bar do not show.

Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.

If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

Also make sure that you are not in "View > Full Screen" mode.

Window sizes and positions are stored in localstore.rdf in the Profile Folder.

(caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
