This is intended behavior. It is the same on all platforms.

OK - I guess I was confused about the difference between Full Screen and
Maximize/Expand.  They seem to operate the same way on the Mac, but they are
different on Linux.  Sometimes the Status Bar goes away when I do an Expand on
the Mac, and sometimes it doesn't.  I'll try to reproduce the bad case and open
a new bug.

I still have a case where I can have multiple Firefox windows open and one will
have the Status Bar shown while others don't, even though they Status Bar option
is checked on the View menu.  I can't seem to find a way to reproduce it - I'll
keep trying.
