Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Steps to reproduce:

This is a Feature Request
The current Full Screen with Auto-Hide toolbar will cause displayed area resizing, as documented in Bug 470534.  That bug calls for the toolbar to float over the rendered web page.  
This bug is filed specifically for handling RIA web pages where web page control elements appear at the top of the web page (for example, the top of every Google page, while logged in).  


Actual results:

When moving to the top of the screen to use the web page control elements, the cursor often hits the trigger to show the Auto-Hidden Firefox toolbar, which then moves the web page control elements.  

This means that the web page control elements are a moving target for the user, which is a bad user experience.  


Expected results:

The feature request is to have an optional, configurable delay (suggestion: browser.fullscreen.showdelay) before showing the toolbar.  

Note that while neither IE nor Safari have addressed this issue, Chrome behavior is to inform the user that F11 needs to be pressed to access the toolbar when the cursor hits the expected trigger zone.
