Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Sometimes extensions can conflict. Could you please try this with a new profile and see if the problem still exists? You do not need to delete your old profile to test. If this helps, you might want to try to disable all your extensions and re-enable them one by one until you find the problematic one.

You can start the profile manager with the following command:
firefox -ProfileManager

This works fine for me in a Natty VM.

It is working for new profile (User 1) but for my default profile (Priyank), the problem persists even after disabling all the extensions.

Does it work if you use tabs-on-top? (which is the default anyway). Tabs on bottom is unsupported and the setting has been hidden in Firefox 15

Sorry, it was my fault. In fullscreen mode, when you right click on the navigation cum tab bar, there is an option to check/uncheck whether you want to hide the toolbars or not. It seems that by mistake i unchecked it.

As for Chris's question, i am using firefox 13.0.1 and the fullscreen feature is working for both tabs-on-top and tabs-on-bottom.

As for now, this problem can be marked as solved.
