Can you reproduce this in safe mode?  Did this just start to happen after a recent upgrade?

Please reopen if you can reproduce this in safe mode and could provide more reliable steps on how to reproduce this.  I haven't seen any mention of this bug in forums and a few different installs that I have so marking WFM for now.

I tried the safe mode now. There was no problem.
But I noticed another thing - when I press F11 in the normal mode the window frame (incl. the window title bar) is still there...in safe mode this fades away.

Then the problem is due to an extension.  Please disabled each extension you have installed one by one (with restarted in between each disable) until you figure out which extension causes the issue then contact the extension author for further help in resolving the issue.

It depends on what had focus when you set firefox to go into full screen.  If something on the toolbars had focus, the toolbars stay until some page content has focus and vice verse.

Okay...I tested a few things. Now I can reproduce when the failure appeares.
My firefox-window is nearly maximized, but not zoomed with the maximize-button. When I changed in the fullscreen mode in this view the failure happens. (I see the main-window frame with the title bar and the three buttons) The problem vanishs when I maximized the window before press F11 or when I'm in the (blemished) full screen view and click on the "minimize"-button from the full screen view (this one besides the "search bar") and resize the window after a click in the taskbar.

The problem will also not happens when I have the window in other sizes. The problem is only there when the firefox window is nearly maximized (however why my firefox start mode).
