I am using MacOS Monterey 12.7.1 with the latest Firefox version. When in full screen mode, if I want to refresh the screen I move the mouse pointer to the top of the page to get the tools to display but when I move it down the the refresh button, it quickly hides again before I can refresh the page. Does anyone know of a solution to this or a keyboard shortcut I can use to do a page refresh while in full screen mode?

Does is help to keep the toolbars visible if you click in the location/address bar to set focus to this area ?

Does "Command+L" work to set focus to the location bar?

You can refresh the page by pressing F5 or Command+R.

Does it behave any differently if you go to about:config and change full-screen-api.macos-native-full-screen to true?

Does it still happen in a new profile? An easy way to test a new profile is to install Developer Edition and see if it happens there or refresh your existing profile.

Zeroknight, 

 Your solution also works, and it’s easier. Why doesn’t Firefox have that in their menu? I searched all over their help and could not find a refresh/reload command. Anyway, thanks.
