It's not like your iPad because it's not an iPad. Also, you don't have a refurbished Mac, you have a used one, and it looks like you're running a fairly old version of OS X.
If you want the app to run full screen, drag the corners of the window to make it full screen. Newer versions of OS X actually have a "full screen" button, but I never understood why anyone wanted a window to fill the screen if all the information could be displayed in a smaller window.
I find some websites don't scale well with OS X with Safari so i end up going full screen at times.
It is running 10-6 snow leopard. That fix worked. Thanks

[doublepost=1455926411][/doublepost]BTW: I added three shortcuts to the Dock. One is gmail one is google and the other I wanted in a folder. As you can see they all have @ on the icon. How can I add the proper icon?

This is a very Windows-ish way of doing things. I notice a lot of windows user maximize everything.
I never go full screen, not even on Windows (except for CAD). It's waste of usable space that could be used for other windows, be it websites, folders, references, etc.
That's definitely not a Windows-ish (or anythingelse-ish) way of doing things, some people prefer it this way, just like me - at home I always use my MacBook with a 23" secondary monitor, with three or four windows on both, all of them in fullscreen, even if they're a Terminal window or a text file. It helps me forget about the OS and focus on what I'm trying to do. But hey, if it works the other way for you, it's none of my business.
I have always ran everything on my Macs maximized. I don't use any of my Macs for work, just personal stuff so this has always worked for me.
