Since 10-11, Firefox 7 will occasionally start switching between Normal View and Full Screen View and back quite rapidly. The switching is so fast I can't click on the Close Program button. I never use full screen. I'm running FF7.0.1 on Win7 Home Premium SP1.

Next time it happens hit F11 which toggles full screen mode on/off.

If that doesn't work try Safe Mode and then a new profile?

Try to disable hardware acceleration.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
