Am a new speech recognition user.

I'm setting up a Win8 PC in the bedroom for my wife to view youtube videos using Firefox. She's never been a computer user so using speech recognition to avoid typing search info. Ran into some initial problems:

1. After a youtube video starts playing, I say "Fullscreen" and the video goes fullscreen. But I can't figure out how to exit fullscreen. How can I do that?

2. Some how, the "fullscreen" command stops working and when I say "fullscreen", a firefox popup warns that multiple tabs will be closed. Question is what speech recognition command can I use to get back to the item-1 state above?

Thanks.
