When i press the green button, it goes to full screen. How can i just go back to it making the screen just a little bigger and not fullscreen?

I recently upgraded to Mavericks and i hate that every time i press the +/green button on the top left, the page goes fullscreen. How can i go back to it just making the window bigger instead of fullscreen.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), iOS 8.0.2

Hold down Option key and click the Green button. It will change from the Full Screen button back to a Zoom button.


You can also double-click the empty area in the window frame (title bar) if you don’t have it set to minimize when double-clicking.
