Document.exitFullscreen()
The Document.exitFullscreen()
is a method that takes the document out of full-screen mode; this is used to reverse the effects of a call to make an element in the document full-screen using its Element.requestFullscreen()
method.
Note: If another element was previously in full-screen mode when the current element was placed into full-screen mode, that previous element regains full-screen mode. A "stack" of full-screen elements is maintained by the browser for this purpose.

[1] The full-screen mode "stack" which allows you to cancel full screen mode for one element, restoring a previous element to full-screen mode automatically, was implemented in Gecko 11.0 (Firefox 11.0 / Thunderbird 11.0 / SeaMonkey 2.8).
