Thunderbird stuck in full screen mode
I've selected thunderbird into full-screen mode (can't remember how!) and now I can't reverse it. In full screen mode there are no borders or window buttons and you can't see the taskbar. Neither is there anything that I can see in the .thunderbird folder. I'm stuck - anyone know how to get thunderbird to start up in the normal windowed mode please? Thanks!

Could this be your problem?
[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

Look for application or window settings for thunderbird, highlight it and delete it.

Re: Thunderbird stuck in full screen mode
Thanks for the help guys but neither of these worked. There are no settings for thunderbird and nothing equivalent to Garry's post in my settings. Any more ideas please?
