i believe it's disabled on purpose - also see bug 127444

But as http://www.mozilla.org/projects/ui/accessibility/mozkeyplan.html said,
F11 toggle the full screen mode on both Windows and Linux....

I only searched bugzilla using keyword F11 not 'full screen' :-)

so is this a duplicate bug of bug 127444? if so I will mark it as duplicate.

"Full screen" mode has been a series of painful bugs. Another problem with full
screen mode is bug 126720. More *nix specific issues in bug 127450 and bug 110120.

I can't find the exact reasons the feature was disabled on Linux, nor the bug
where it happened. It used to work just fine on RH7.2/Sawfish.

Bug 126685 seems to be the spinoff version covering Linux/Mac
(bug 68136 being the original, but said to only cover the Windows implementation)

As far as I remember, I enabled it in a private build by editing 
mozilla/source/modules/libpref/src/init/all.js modifying this line
pref("capability.policy.default.Window.fullScreen", "noAccess");
to "allAccess"

and then made a "personal bookmark" with of this:
javascript:void(window.fullScreen = true)

This bug is likely a duplicate of bug 126685
