How can I stop Safari opening in "Full Screen" mode?

Hi members,

I am not very smart! Please help.

This week Safari Ver 6.0.2 (7536.26.17) in OS 10.7.5, insists on opening in "Full Screen" every time! I cannot understand why.

Safari preferences do not seem to offer this mode. I am finding it very annoying.

Hovering mouse pointer over corners usually doesn't work, only sometimes!

I wish to retain "Normal Screen" with Dock visible.

Is this mode a nasty Safari joke intended to prevent one using another search engine?

Thankyou members,

Clive Judd.

Firstly adjust Safari to the opening screen you require; then,

Go to Safari menu > Preferences > General. Half way down is the screen you are on highlighted, and below that an invitation to set to current page. Click on that, quit Safari and then re-open Safari. Should now open on the correct page.

Hi, I just read a response from Linc Davis on another thread. Press the escape key to exit full screen mode.

I have the dock an Sarafi menu bar back but the forward and back buttons are still missing.

Anyone?
