Since each program has its own differences in interface, it may not be obvious to users what to do to perform a particular function. Below we will cover the most common problems with exiting full screen mode.
How to exit full screen mode in Firefox
Most often, the full-screen mode of the browser gets accidentally. Having met with an unusual display, users are in a hurry to return to the usual, without having tried all the advantages of an undeservedly ignored function. It is noteworthy that firefox supports full-screen mode on any technology, from miniature netbooks to huge HD displays, allowing you to use all the functionality of the technology to the maximum. If you do not have enough of the usual toolbar - just move the cursor to the edge of the window and the menu items will be displayed.
- to return to the usual view, go to “Settings” in the upper right corner of the browser and click inside on the “Full screen” button (a second click will return the full screen mode);
- an alternative way to exit is to press the F11 button on the keyboard (for laptops it can be Fn + F11, if there is a compact type of button placement).
How to Exit Full Screen Mode in Google Chrome
The popular browser from Google, which has proven itself among Windows users, can spontaneously go into full screen mode on OC Ubuntu. This causes PC owners a lot of inconvenience and requires additional clarification. So, in order to “wean” Chrome to open in full screen mode (it will also work on Windows), we will perform the following sequence of actions:
- launch the Chrome browser;
- if the window expands to full screen, switch to another monitor;
- on the latter, we launch another copy of the browser;
- return to the first monitor and close the first copy by right-clicking on the bottom panel with a list of open windows;
- go to the adjacent monitor, with a “double” of Chrome, which should start in a regular window (or put it in windowed mode through the settings \ buttons in the upper right corner);
- close the windowed copy, launch Chrome again - the problem should disappear, the browser remembers the last windowed launch and restores it in each new session.
How to exit full screen mode in games?
Switching to windowed mode can make a gamer's life easier in many ways. This makes it easier to interact with other programs running at the same time. In windowed mode, games require less PC resources, some stop giving out a “dark screen”, “slow down” or create other problems. Switching the game to windowed mode is as easy as shelling pears - usually this feature is turned on and off in the options by simply checking the checkbox. If the developers, for various reasons, did not provide for this feature, for Windows there are universal key combinations that put any program into windowed mode. Try pressing Esc, F11, or Alt+Enter one by one to determine which buttons work with which software.
Despite the fact that only two browsers were considered in the article, all other programs function in exactly the same way. To switch to windowed mode and back from any program, use the indicated hotkey combinations or carefully examine the program settings to find the option you need.

Often, inexperienced users of personal computers and laptops may encounter such a problem as turning on the browser in full screen mode. As a rule, this function is turned on by such users by accident.
However, when faced with an unusual display of the Internet browser, people, as a rule, tend to return to their familiar interface.
The fact is that in general, full screen mode allows you to view images, or information, without displaying the top toolbar.
This does not mean that it disappears forever. It is exactly where it should be, and I will tell you today how to put it back in place.
I'll also tell you how to fix the situation in different browsers. In order for the toolbar to return in Mazil, Yandex browser, you need to move the mouse to the top of the screen, that is, bring it to the very top. The control panel will become visible. After that, as soon as you move the mouse to the side, the toolbar will disappear again.
If this mode does not suit you, then in this case, click on the settings icon in the right corner and you will see the active full-screen mode logo in the window. Click on the icon and the screen will return to its normal position.
In the browser Mazila
Here is an icon for using the full screen, you will find in the Mazila browser.
Yandex browser
In the Yandex browser, the icon looks different, and you can guess that it turns full-screen mode on and off only when you hover over it. Then a hint comes out, as you can see in the screenshot.
Opera browser
In Opera, when moving the cursor to the top of the screen, the panel does not appear, but a tooltip appears, clicking on which exits the full-screen state.
Google browser
In the browser from Google, when you enter full-screen mode, a hint appears for a few seconds that you can exit this mode by pressing the F11 key.
After that, it no longer appears, the panel at the top is also not visible. So, if you accidentally entered this mode and missed the hint, then exiting without knowing where to click is quite difficult for beginners.
Moreover, it is impossible to close the browser in this position. I want to tell beginners in computer matters right away that you can close the browser using the ctrl + w, or alt + F4 keys.
Therefore, conducting this analysis, I came to the conclusion that the browser from Google is the most inconvenient, in terms of management, for inexperienced users.
For all browsers
In all browsers, you can exit full screen mode by pressing the F11 key located on the top row of your keyboard. This key works for all browsers if you are using a personal computer.
For laptops, the Fn + F11 key combination is often used. By the way, using this method, using the options for a computer (F11) or a laptop (Fn + F11), you can also return to the browser's full-screen mode at any convenient time.
It should also be noted that this method is universal for most Internet browsers and is less problematic for both beginners and advanced users.
Outcome
Summing up, I would like to note that if you accidentally open the full screen of the browser, then do not be afraid, press the F11 key, and the screen will return to its normal, familiar state.
And in order to become a confident computer user, and to understand its functionality well, I advise you to take computer literacy training. Fortunately, there are a lot of lessons and courses on this topic on the Internet.
After all, confident computer skills will help you, regardless of where you live, how old you are and other factors. People with knowledge will always be in business and with money.
Since at the moment there is a great demand for, however, this will not always be the case, sooner or later, this niche will be filled, and for those who did not have time to enter now, it will be difficult to do so in the future.

Everyone is good most popular browser google chrome(do not confuse with the most common), but it has a huge minus - the sad implementation of working in full screen mode. The developers for a long time spat on the development of this function and they are not even caught by the laurels of Mozilla Firefox in this direction.
Today I'll show you how to improve google chrome fullscreen— enable the appearance of the address bar and tabs when moving the cursor to the top edge of the screen in this state.
Let me remind you right away how you can “drive” any browser into full screen mode- you just need to press the "F11" key on the computer keyboard. To return to the normal view of the window, click on this key again.
For laptop owners, this is a great (only) way to virtually increase monitor diagonal and not to lose at the same time convenient and necessary panels of the Internet browser.
In the usual full-screen mode of Google Chrome, there is no tab navigation and no address bar - every time you need to exit this mode and turn it on again. Why everything is so sad - only the creators know.
Tab Revolution - Improving Google Chrome
So, we turn on the display of address bars and tabs in Google Chrome full screen mode. We launch our fast browser and we go to the Tab Revolution extension page- install it and restart the browser.
Now we go to best website for computer software and poke "F11" on the keyboard (turn on full immersion) ...
We got what we wanted - improved full screen mode in Google Chrome.
In the upper right corner of the browser window (in normal mode) we see the Tab Revolution extension icon that appears (for some reason, sad and inactive) ...
It's okay - it (the extension) works. We click on this icon with any mouse button and get the context menu ...
...where you can pin/unpin tab (Pin/Unpin Tab)...
...mute the sound on the tab (Mute / Unmute Tab) ...
Mute/Unmute all other Tabs - turn on/off the sound in all tabs except the active one.
Duplicate Tab - duplicate (clone) a tab.
Close all other Tabs - close all tabs except the active one.
I repeat - all this is configured in the normal mode, before switching to full screen.
Of course, the implementation is not ideal (even there is no support for hotkeys), but what is it. If you know the best way to display tabs and address bar in Google Chrome full screen mode, share your knowledge in the comments to this article.

Those who have been working with the Google Chrome browser for a long time have probably noticed more than once that the system sometimes functions in a rather incomprehensible way. Chrome can be tedious and time-consuming asking the user for permission to activate full-screen mode on absolutely any site (especially on YouTube, where a similar message appears every time you watch a video). Well, you can not talk about other Internet resources.
How to remove the full screen mode in the Google Chrome browser
The setting responsible for the display resolution in full screen mode is written to memory by the program separately for each resource. An incredibly huge amount of time must pass before this type of message stops pestering the user with endless alerts that ask them to confirm their own action.
Thus, in order to finally stop further appearances of a request of this kind, you will have to type the following value in the address bar:
chrome://settings/content Exceptions#fullscreen
Or you can follow this path: go to the settings menu, then go to the personal data section, go to the Fullscreen or Full screen item, and then go to the section responsible for controlling the exception system.
A small window will appear in front of you, where each individual exception for full screen mode is registered. In order for the web browser to consider almost every site visited by a user that is on the exclusion list, you will need to edit absolutely any line located in the list. All you need to do is to click the left key on the host: 
This screenshot shows the only allowed host - YouTube. You will have to edit it.
Instead of an address name that looks something like this:
[*] www. youtube. com
You can only enter a value:
After that, click on the button to complete the process and save the entered data. The entry that was subject to editing will instantly disappear, which will mean that now Chrome will no longer prompt for all actions that are associated with the activation of full screen mode.
But, alas, it will not be possible to completely get rid of the message that provides the user with information that a certain site activates full screen mode at startup. However, a message of this kind is not at all the same as the annoying inscriptions “normal action mode”, as well as “allow action”.
Problems with full screen mode in Google Chrome browser
There are cases when the user is unable to view the video in the popular YouTube service in full screen mode. You can solve this problem in several available ways at once: 
- To get started, we recommend that you review all additional materials, as well as browser extensions. You need to make sure that those add-ons or extensions that are already installed in the browser system do not have a ban on turning on and viewing video in full screen mode. If necessary, you will have to change the settings of the appropriate type.
- You can also restart Google Chrome or the device. In the event that the full screen mode refuses to be activated, then you can restart the Chrome browser or the device itself. It may also happen that your browser does not support full screen mode.
For all its splendor, the famous browser has its weaknesses. Making Google Chrome full screen, and at the same time not losing sight of the address bar and tabs, and the ability to somehow interact with them is a common and terribly inconvenient thing. To switch to another, you must disable full screen mode. Turning it on and off is done by simultaneously pressing hot keys, for example. on desktop computers, this is F11, and on laptops, it is Fn + F11.
It is completely unclear what the developers are pursuing in this area. Yes, and apparently they are in no hurry to solve it, since to this day it remains almost the most important difference among similar applications. After all, the rest, no less popular web browsers, do not have such a problem.
How to enable full screen mode in the browser
The Tab Revolution utility will come to the rescue, however there are a decent number of them, but I decided to introduce you to it. You can download it from the Google Chrome store here at this link.
In the window that opens with the plugin, click on the "Install" button.
And then "Install Extension".
We restart.
Now if we go to browser full screen, using hot keys for this, hover the mouse over the upper part, then both the address bar and active tabs will be shown to our attention.
The utility icon is located in the upper right part.
By clicking on which you can display a menu in which to perform the following manipulations:
- Pin and unpin a tab
- Turn sound on and off
- duplication
- Removal
- Don't show in menu
