Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Steps to reproduce:

Using macOS with multiple monitors connected, open two windows on different monitors. Use JavaScript to enter full screen mode, for example with the built-in PDF viewer's full screen button. Click onto the other, non-full-screen window on another monitor.

Actual results:

The menu bar is missing, and it is not possible to open the menus.

Expected results:

The menu bar should remain visible on the (non-full-screen) monitors, especially when the focused window is not the one in full screen. This could perhaps be fixed by making JavaScript full-screen mode use the native full screen mode on macOS, or simply by disabling hiding the menu bar on all monitors when a non-full-screen window is selected.

That's slightly different, this is the menu bar not the dock. However, the same solution does work: entering native full screen before JavaScript fullscreen fixes it.

mstange, do you think you could try to find someone rather well familiar with MacOS to take a look at this?

(Didn't see issues on Linux)
