That's bug 997528, not this bug. This bug is about the inconsistency of having *different* types of full screen mode whereby the user-initiated Firefox Full screen mode (View > Fullscreen or F11) is the only odd one out which does not allow users to exit fullscreen with ESC, at all. So if this bug affects your scenario at all, it would still depend on implementation. So far, my proposal, as confirmed by Alex Limi (:limi) from Firefox UX in comment 8, is to allow web pages to consume Escape event before the browser gets it, so in that case, you'd still be good. But again, I think that's a discussion for bug 997528, not here. > Using Esc key to escape the full screen mode is like using "," as a > separator. I suggest to try the Chrome way. Could you summarize "the Chrome way"?
