Could you provide an example website for which the problem appears, please :)

What do you want, view source in Full Screen mode too ?
Hard to believe I can't find a dupe for this in seamonkey/FF

Comment #1 is missing step 4. Maximize Source window.
I agree, the source window should cover the whole screen.
Is this happening in other OSs?

Comment 7

[djpohly]

I think this is probably Windows-only (I can repro on XP)... unless other
operating systems also do the following:

If Auto-Hide for the taskbar is off, the size of a maximized window only goes
down to the top of the taskbar, whether it's visible or hidden behind a
full-screen window.  Turning Auto-Hide on allows View Source to go all the way
to the bottom of the screen.

Attachment: Full Screen mode + View Source window in IE

This is how IE handles this issue. When the source window (or any other window)
is selected, the taskbar is shown. I think this is the behavior we should aim
to.
I also found out that the bug can be reproduced with another Firefox browser
window, not necessarily the View Source window.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Firefox.
2. Open a new Firefox window (Ctrl + N).
3. Put one of the two windows in Full Screen Mode.
4. Put focus on the other window (using Alt+Tab).
5. Maximize the focused window.

Actual results:
Taskbar doesn't show.

Expected results:
Taskbar shows, as it does when selecting a window from any other application.

I don't quite understand what is failing - it WFM, covers entire screen
including taskbar area, no blank space

those who haven't done so yet, please retry with a nightly build

Didn't realize this was still unco.

Confirming with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050718
Firefox/1.0+

Still occurs -- when the taskbar is not set to auto-hide, Firefox's full-screen
view-source window is just maximized rather than truly full-screen.

[Ray Kraesig [:rkraesig]]

As of Firefox 101 (and probably quite some some time earlier), the bug as originally reported is now fixed... because the View Source window is opened as a new tab, and so is part of a truly fullscreen window. Closing, somewhat arbitrarily, as RESOLVED INVALID.

Its further elucidation by :jorgev is still open, but is being worked on as bug 1732517.
