Firefox: Can’t exit full screen, button doesn’t work. Antix 19 base 64 bit

[Member HateDogsBarking]

Is there a workaround for this? I also cannot adjust the window manually when in full screen mode as the cursor does not provide the option to change the window size. Abd the buttons to minimize the screen and exit the page do work.

Try using F11 key to exit Fullscreen. Also, moving the mouse to the top of the screen and clicking should display your tabs and a small interface. At the right side you should see a hamburguer menu (three lines). Click it and, on aprox. the 6th entry, (Zoom entry), at the far right you should see a button to exit full screen.

Ah, I see what you mean with F11. Apparently I don’t mean “fullscreen” literally. I mean “fullscreen” as when you maximize the window using the second button at the top of the screen (the button at left from the red “x” button). So I still have an issue with it. Also, this button does work when viewing images with the application called Mirage.

What Window manager are you using? icewm, jwm, fluxbox?
I believe that for most (if not all of them), after maximizing you cannot move them. you have to click the maximize button again to able to resize them.

If on iceWM, right-clicking the window tittle bar should give you the option “Restore”. If you cannot click it, then you already are in a position to move and resize the window.
You shoul also see in that context menu if your window is maximized (Maximize should appear with a romboid symbol if maximized, nothing if Restored).
If you are having trouble resizing the normal way, if you are sure the mode is not maximized, you can use Alt+left-click to move and Alt+right-click to resize (anywhere except titlebar).
