Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Newbies confronted with a Full Screen mode WHICH THEY DIDN'T TURN ON THEMSELVES have no idea how to recover all the missing menu structures at the top of the screen. Everyone simply reboots, cusses Firefox roundly, and hopes it doesn't happen again! Some, like me, bother to track down the feature, which is clearly F11 on the View menu, but THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO KILL THIS FOREVER so "full screen" never, ever, under any circumstances, absolutely does not reappear. It is extremely obnoxious.

And, I realize, it's a feature. It's also a deal breaker, if anything better than Firefox shows up for Ubuntu.

The proper key to use is ESC, not F11, in any case.
