Following an update to the browser, I've lost the ability to keep webpages tabbed and visible when on other pages. The browser also conceals the Microsoft tasks bar at the bottom of the monitor. Is there a way to anchor the open pages and reduce the page so the task bar stays visible?

Chosen solution

It sounds like a "full screen" problem. There are two kinds of full screen with different shortcuts:

(1) Web Content full screen (Full screen API)

This is the kind of full screen you get when you click a button on a video player to go full screen. Press the Esc key to exit this kind of full screen.

(2) Browser full screen

This is the older kind of full screen that you can call up or exit by pressing the F11 key. Also, if you slide your mouse pointer to the top of the screen, the toolbar area should roll down and you can click the menu button and use the last button on the Zoom row to exit full screen.

Was it either of those?

Thank you. Yes it was a "full screen" issue. It seems to have resolved without having to execute either suggested solution. Thanks again and hopefully I remember for the next time.
