document.mozFullScreenEnabled should ignore the mozallowfullscreen (and in future the windowed plugins) check when requests which come from the context-menu. However we should not ignore these checks when we're called from the videocontrols' full-screen button (which is being added to the controlbar in bug 470628).

It may be enough to check if caller is chrome in mozFullScreenEnabled, but I'm not sure if this will trigger in the videocontrols' controlbar case.

Attached patch Patch v1 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Allow chrome code calls to document.mozRequestFullScreen(), document.mozCancelFullScreen() and document.mozFullScreenEnabled to bypass the requirement for being a user-event handler and the plugin/mozallowfullscreen requirement. This does not allow chrome code cannot override the pref full-screen-api.enabled however.

This is required for bug 685402, as in the patch I'm about to submit there, we call document.mozCancelFullScreen() from browser.js.
