User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100214 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.8

Hi,

there are two ways to put Firefox in Full-Screen-Mode, pressing X11 or using the Menu. 

But if the window manager (e.g. lxde) catches the F11 key press event, there is no way back from the full screen mode, since the menu disappears. Should be possible to get firefox back into normal mode with the mouse. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a window manager catching F11
2. Use the menu to enter full screen mode
3. Try to get back

Clicking on the restore button (see bug 474070 comment 3) or choosing 'Exit Full Screen Mode' from the toolbar context (right click) menu should work.

This bug has had the CLOSEME tag for several weeks and the date in the tag is
far gone. If the reporter can still see this issue, Please retest with Firefox
3.6.x or later and a new profile
(http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then please remove the
closeme tag in the whiteboard, mark the bug against the proper version and
comment on the bug.
