Bug Description

This is a really odd bug. When I am speaking to someone through Emesene, and I click on a link in the chat window, firefox goes "full screen". Where it maximizes and covers the top and bottom panel. Pressing 2 times F11 (1 time to go into the real fullscreen mode, and 1 time to minimize it again) firefox resizes to a normal size.

It also goes "fullscreen" when I try to load firefox. This happens since kernel .27, possibly it's triggered by the fact that I use the 177 nvidia driver because .27 broke 173.

I was right about the driver thing. I've installed 173 again and Firefox is behaving normally again, so probably it was not a Firefox-bug after all.

I'm marking it as Invalid.

Changed in firefox:
status: New → Invalid
