493214 - FullScreen still not FULL-screen, and no esc cancel full-screen

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 490621

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Keul]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.9.1b4) Gecko/20090423 Firefox/3.5b4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.9.1b4) Gecko/20090423 Firefox/3.5b4

When going into fullscreen mode by pressing F11:
- there's a thin gray TOP BAR (O_o ???), ugly when displaying dark/colored things like picture in web gallery
- Esc key don't work to cancel full-screen

Put it in preferences/options if you want to enable it, but not set it on by default!

OK, maybe the thin bar is for the dummies that don't know how to return to normal mode, but all this softwares have complete full screen mode:
VLC and ALL media players
XNView and all image viewers
OpenOffice writer with CTRL+MAJ+J
OpenOffice impress with F5
Opera use F11 also, and Esc is working on Opera (but scrollbars disappears on Opera, maybe not good)

Now, think about that:
Firefox is more and more often used for web-interfaces, I've already see train schedule screens using browsers for display.
<canvas> and <video> are likely be used for full-screen (maybe we should add a right-click menu option to go to full-screen in canvas and video, but canvas would require adding javascript full-screen trigger to inform the script of new native available resolution)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Press F11
Actual Results:  
show grey bar at top

Expected Results:  
No intruding grey bar
