same here. I have to do Super + 1 to activate firefox again then f11 to close fullscreen before closing firefox again so that my netbook launcher will reappear. I don't know if it is the unity thing or firefox.

[Sven Stähs (sven-staehs)]

Confirmed.
Installed ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition recently. Only way to get unity to show again is using a shortcut to open any other program (like a terminal), then it will reappear.
Also, when starting firefox again, it is using the whole screen but still showing all toolbars and the menu. After pressing F11 the window is no longer maximised, as if Alt + F5 had been pressed.

Please tell me any commands you'd like to see the output of.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.

Ubuntu 10.10 (maverick) reached end-of-life on April 10, 2012.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using currently supported versions of Firefox and Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
