Could you run mozregression[1] to figure out when this started occurring?

Based on Bug 740148, this has been an issue since at least Firefox 14. The bug here is pretty embarrassing, since there is a menu entry that claims that the toolbars will be hidden, but it has no effect. 

Firefox should minimally remove the menu entry until Bug 1016361 can be fixed.

@Francisco Lopes - IMHO this doesn't even count as workaround. For some "web application" I simply would like to maximize view space and hide all the distractions (learning app) and this works well in other browsers (Vivaldi for example).
In firefox tab-bar is never hidden in full-screen and bookmark bar gets hidden for a split second and then reappears.
I have `browser.fullscreen.autohide` set to `true` but obviously this doesn't work.

@wojtek I don't get what you mean. With the solution I pointed I have everything hidden (or autohidden) and just the content left.

I don't see any situation where we'd fix this without just fixing bug 740148.
