[paul]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

Whenever I enter the fullscreen mode and leave it using F11 or the menu item, firefox4 keeps reverting to fullscreen after switching the view (or focused window in stack) in wmii.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
using wmii:
1. enter and leave fullscreen mode (e.g. press f11 2x)
2. switch to another view and back to the one which contains ff
Actual Results:  
back to fullscreen

Expected Results:  
no fullscreen!

this behaviour started with 4.0, coudn't observe it in 3.6

Could you see if the issue occurs if using Firefox in safe mode:

How about with a new, empty testing profile? (Don't install any addons into it)

yes, the problem persists using safe mode or a fresh profile.

Comment 3

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! :-)
