Works for me in
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I can see the pulldown menu in step 2 and 4

I retried the steps,
first round the menu shows
after a few repeat the File menu is gone.

Please also note I can always have them back by press Ctrl+N, and the new window
can show all the menus anew.

But the status bar never come up.

WFM as well. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2)

Reporter, does running Firefox in Safe Mode fix the problem?

This WORKSFORME using Firefox 2.0.0.6 on Windows Vista. This was filed with Windows 2000. Can someone on that platform confirm this bug?

Hmm. I can reproduce this.

1. New profile, start firefox
2. Should have two tabs. Close one.
3. Press F11 (Fx goes fullscreen)
4. Press Alt+F (No menu shown)
5. Try pressing F11... no response
6. Click in the browser window (to give focus?)
7. Press F11 (Fx comes out of fullscreen)
8. Press Alt+F; File menu highlighted, nothing drops down.

I have reproduced this twice now with a new profile. But if I use an existing profile the problem didn't show itself for the couple of times I tried.
