try grabbing the bottom right corner and dragging it down. Your window also needs to be maximized. Hope this helps.

Upper right hand corner, next to the CLOSE "X" and in between the 'Minimize' this is the full screen button. Because it is a single pane it means you are in multi-pane mode. Click it and it should go full.

Once you have used it in full and closed it clean it is supposed to remember that you closed it in full screen mode and open that way subsequently.

Next steps, switch back to IE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have to get my shots in cause yall always talk bad about my product, like FireFox is holy or something.

FireFox is a novelty.
It's well, kind of like a Ford, looks good on the outside but in the big scheme of things it just doesn't measure up.

When you need real work done you choose Cummins and IE.

hahaha, that is pretty funny. IE is a joke. It's slow, it's bulky and it's a security risk. That's why small and large business is going to Firefox in droves. I know, because I used to be in big business, and I happened to be in charge of moving our company from IE to Firefox. All 4000 machines.

There's been much debate on this and it is definitely true that in 2004 when Firefox came out, it was much more secure than IE. However with the new versions, IE7 and Firefox 2 seem to be pretty even.

Good luck!
I tried to uninstall Foxfire and it turns out to be like Norton...it won't completely uninstall. Had to put it back in and live with it!
I am in the minority, but I actually prefer IE.
My biggest grip is it won't give up it's 'default' status... so I can't open some programs in IE...if I want to!

Mine does it also.

Mine has been that way since I loaded firefox. No problem, Works fine for me.
Wife don't like it, some things like popup are blocked, like confermations on online purchases etc.
Her online school only accepts work done in MS IE.
So I have both on this computer.

Jack, Jack, 4000 computers is small. We gift that to FireFly.
Somebody has to have a feeble little browser so they can stop getting sued.

But IE is the ruler that other browsers kneel to, cause 96% of big businesses are on IE, because they just can't take the risk of some fly by night broswer affecting the business.

I have the sly fox installed and Linux too. You have to know what's else is out there, but they don't measure up.

This train got off the track pretty fast , maximizing the window has no effect , and dragging the corner down has no effect either, I already tried both of those , any other suggestions?
