Bug Description

When viewing a site that has a lot of video content (such as YouTube) Firefox can unexpectedly shift into a type of full screen mode that hides the edges of the window so that the "close-restore-minimise" buttons at the top right cannot be accessed.
Hitting F11 can restore the actual full screen mode. The Gnome Panels are also covered so that if F11does not work the only option to switch desktops requires that firefox be closed. Opening the "customise" option on the Title or Menu bars will cause the panels to reappear until the customise window is closed.
