199387 - [RFE] "Totally fullscreen" fullscreen mode.

Status: NEW

It would be cool if fullscreen mode could be modified (or an additional mode
added) in such a way that 100% of the screen pixels are assigned to showing page
content. I.e. the scrollbars and the location bar should disappear until you
touch the borders with the mouse pointer. To avoid confusing users a warning
explaining this behavior (and with a "do not show again" checkbox) could be
displayed the first time it is used.

Reasoning: Full screen has one purpose: Fitting more of the page on the screen.
So let there be as little as possible a part of the screen be dedicated to
anything else - and as little as possible is 0%.

What do you think?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch to fullscreen
Actual Results:  
Scrollbars and location bar are still there

Expected Results:  
100% of the screen real estate should've been dedicated to page content.

There is a bug that more closely matches what he wants. It is about having 
hideable menubars that only appear when you move your mouse to the corner of 
the screen.

Hendikins: Since you spammed everyone in that bug, I think its only fair that 
you find the correct dupe for this bug. ;-)

GUI feature, not GFX. Reassigning.

If we're going to implement a completely fullscreen feature as requested, then
we really ought to look into supporting project-media styles as well-- as Opera
does with "OperaShow."  That feature has me using Opera to produce all of my
presentation slideshows these days, and if Mozilla hd a "MozShow" of some kind,
I'd switch to it in a second, especially if it worked cross-platform (OperaShow
is Windows-only, or at least non-Mac).
