If you were to load Firefox from non-maximized positioning (Windowed, not fully spanned) and then were to use any shortcut to full screen the window, you have a second or two, to move/re-size the top portion of Firefox. In doing so, you will loose all top-bar functionality and in not so rare occasions, be able to chase down the Firefox window, as it will elude your mouse, from the cornerstone where you started the resize. Now I am aware that there's an odd transition between the regular window and full screen in many ways, but this could be bundle fixed, seeing the way these issues are mildly related.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have window non-maximized
2. Full screen toggle
3. Re-size or drag window from topmost portion
Actual Results:  
You will loose all top-bar functionality and in not so rare occasions, be able to chase down the Firefox window, as it will elude your mouse, from the cornerstone where you started the re-size.

Expected Results:  
You will loose all top-bar functionality and in not so rare occasions, be able to chase down the Firefox window, as it will elude your mouse, from the cornerstone where you started the re-size.

To prevent this measure, disable the ability to use the mouse to re-size. Once the Firefox window becomes full screen, disable mouse dragging functionality, or eliminate outside corners.

Does this happen with Firefox 4 final?
