On line 12, "class utf8" should be enclosed in Guillemets, which ironically are not represented in UTF-8 in the AppleScript Editor.

Yep, presentation mode has been removed on their latest update. I suspect @iPadGuy was using chromium and saw it earlier. It appears you need to make sure "Hide Toolbar in Full Screen" is checked and then go fullscreen with

keystroke "f" using {control down, command down}
