  Hello,

  I’ve just started using distraction free and it’s so distraction free that I can not find any button to save, preview or go back to normal mode. I hoover with my mouse, click up, down, left and right. There’s absolutely nothing. I have actually lost some work because of it. Anything I’m doing wrong? Are there any shortcuts? I’ve tried alt+shift+w with no results.

  Thanks for your help,

  Annick

  Are you willing to try using Firefox 20? http://browserhappy.com

  I have Firefox 19. I can see the small toolbar at the top. Is there any reason to use Firefox 20 instead of 19?

  Firefox 20 is the latest version, it has a few new features, bug fixes, and security fixes over Firefox 19.

  As for Distraction Free writing, just save it as a draft first in the normal editor, then auto-save will take over from there once you switch to Distraction Free.
