No it doesn't.  It puts Firefox in "fullscreen" mode, which removes
the buttons altogether.  Hit F11 again to switch back to windowed
mode.

Have you tried hitting F11 again?  If that's not working, you've
found a bug which should be reported to the Firefox team.

> How do I kill it?

Asking the question on the Firefox forums instead of the FreeBSD
forums might be a good start, as this isn't even related to
FreeBSD.
