I like the full screen feature.  However, it would be more usable if I could get
to my bookmarks in it

I totally agree - it's the only thing missing from full screen.

To hewitt.  This has nothing to do with views.

I just noticed in the recent 1.0 branch builds that the sidebar is available in
full-screen mode ... which means bookmarks ARE available.  I'm not sure if this
was always the case, but I'm taking my vote away from this bug.

Okay, I filed a dupe bug on 10/22/02 but let me post my comments so I can
possibly get some attention on this again:
I personally find the fullscreen feature to be beautiful in appearance but
inconvenient otherwise because I have no fast, elegant way to get to bookmarks.
 I COULD HAVE THE SIDEBAR OPEN, BUT I never use the sidebar, personally, so that
means I'd have to switch it on and off regularly.  I could keep alternating with
F11 (but maybe I don't do that because I have a global macro in use on this
key).  Toolbar customization is no doubt in the works, but that's a long way
off, so a very small bookmark button (preferably just for access to personal
toolbar bookmarks--would be faster than having one more level to go through)
probably wouldn't tick anyone off for being there and many would like it.  Then
fullscreen mode could actually be a feature that people found themselves not
even switching away from most of the time, and thus it would be useful.

This seems like it should be a higher priority - no comments on it since 2002? 
Come on guys, this IS a big deal, it's the only reason I don't use full-screen...

IMO this is WONFIX. The premise of fullscreen is max screen real-estate.
In any event, won't go anywhere til you get a developer on board.
