Try F11 a few times

Sometimes the top menu bar disappears up above the top taskbar. Of course you can move the taskbar to one of the sides and then grab the firefox menu bar and make it much smaller again - but sometimes F11 can be made to work that way too.

Good luck and have fun

Thanks :)

To prevent it happening again go to the "Edit" meu - "Preferences" then in the pop-up box choose the "Content" tab/button. To your right of the Javascript writing is a box labelled "Exceptions" untick "Move or Resize existing windows" in there.

Lol, i bet there's a way of doing this on the command line that's a lot easier to describe. But the gui is easy and intuitive - just difficult to explain!

Anyway, regards from
Tom :)
