How did Firefox running in Trinity suddenly become full screen?

Hello,

I was in the middle of making a donation to a non-profit, in Firefox running 
in Trinity, when suddenly, for no apparent reason, Firefox became full screen, 
and there seemed to be no way to get out of it.  I presume I must accidentally 
have typed some key combination that caused it.  Does anyone know what key 
combination that would be?  And once it happened, how to get out of it?  I had 
already entered my debit card details, etc, and now, not only had Firefox 
become full screen, but the top part of the Firefox window, including the 
address bar, had vanished as well.  The ENTIRE screen was now taken up by the 
main display area of Firefox.  The Trinity panel, which I always have at the 
bottom of the screen, had vanished, and there was no way to get it back.  It 
was very alarming, because all my debit card details were there in the Firefox 
window, now taking up the entire screen, and I could not even see the Firefox 
address bar, to check that the green padlock was still there, and there was no 
green padlock to click on, to check it really was secure, and it really was 
the correct website.  I desperately tried various key combinations including 
esc and other keys, but nothing worked, until eventually, possibly ctrl + alt 
+ esc, I am not sure, the x mouse pointer appeared, and I must have clicked on 
the Firefox window with that, although I don't remember doing so, because 
eventually that full screen Firefox window started to vanish, and the Trinity 
panel came back into view.

I guess the fact that the top part of the Firefox window vanished as well, so 
the entire screen was taken up by the main display area of Firefox, might 
indicate that this is a Firefox issue, rather than a Trinity issue, so this 
might be the wrong forum.  Sorry if that's the case.  I have been using 
Trinity continuously since about March 2017, and I think it's really great.  
Nothing like this has ever happened before.

Thanks.
With best wishes,
Chris Austin
