Steps to reproduce:

I saw that firefox was opened in full screen after it was opened for a day. Then it tried to minimize the screen size and can't do this


Actual results:

I tried "exit fullscreen" button and restore button. But it just blinks my screen and firefox does not come out of full screen mode. Same with F11 key


Expected results:

The firefox should have come out to normal mode

I too have the same issue.  I'm not even sure how it got into full screen mode, but now, No matter what I do, F11, restore, etc.. it flashes as if it's restoring the windows size, the goes right back to full screen.

I'm running CentOS 6.4 x86. firefox-17.0.5-1.el6.centos.x86_64

What a PAIN.

I fixed it.  I had to hold down the F11 key for about 15 seconds and let it flutter between full screen and window mode.  When I let off, it stayed in window mode.  S-T-R-A-N-G-E
