Typing in search box causes screen to switch to full screen, with no buttons (versions 34.0.5 and 35.0)

When I start to enter a search term into the search field on the top right of the screen the window will switch to full screen mode and all the buttons disappear. If I move the cursor to the top of the screen the resize button appears and I can switch it back. This happens several times a day, but not every time I use the search box. It happens if I have the window maximised or resized to fill less than the monitor screen.

This is hugely annoying. It started happening when I upgraded to version 34.0.5 and is still happening in 35.0. You have made some changes to the search function as it now automatically gives me an annoying drop down box to choose a search provider. Is this change the cause of this problem?

I am running Windows 7 (64 bit)

Please tell me how to prevent this, it is driving me crazy.

Thanks

Sounds that you switch full screen mode on.

If you run Firefox in full screen mode then press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle (Mac: Command+Shift+F).

If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.

Thanks for the reply, but it hasn't sorted the problem.

I am not accidentally switching full screen mode on.

I know I can click the maximise button to get the screen back but the thing is, I don't want it to switch to full screen mode in the first place. It has done it more than 10 times so far today and it's driving me nuts. It only started after the 34.0.5 release.

Can anyone help?
