3. start private browsing
4. enter fullscreen mode
5. open up a bunch of new tabs (blank ones are fine)
6. exit private browsing using CMD+SHIFT+P
**note that at this point firefox should still be in fullscreen mode (but isn't)

Expected Results:

Could you see if the issue occurs using the latest nightly:
http://nightly.mozilla.org/

Does this happen with 3.6.x?

Comment 2

[bedarder]

Both versions? By that do you mean 3.6.x?

Comment 4

[bedarder]

yes, I tested it with the latest nightly build from the link you gave, and I tested it with 3.6.14, and both have the same bug

Reporter, please can you confirm whether this issue still occurs using Firefox 4.0.1 (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/new/) or higher, in Firefox safe mode (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode) and/or with a clean profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile). Ideally, also check using the latest nightly: http://nightly.mozilla.org/

If this issue no longer occurs, please close as "Resolved Worksforme".

It it in fact still occurs, please provide as much extra information as possible, including what versions tried, whether safe mode/new profile tested etc. Thanks! :-)

WFM using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:6.0a1) Gecko/20110524 Firefox/6.0a1. (After step 6, Firefox is in fullscreen mode still and the buttons work to exit).

Please reopen using the status dropdown at the bottom of the page/comment with further info, if you still see this issue with Firefox 4.0.1 or later in safe mode and/or in a new profile:
