Unity lose track of firefox instance if closed fullscreen

[AJenbo]

Binary package hint: unity

If firefox is closed while in fullscreen mode, starting it again makes unity(or compiz) not detect the instance of firefox.

steps to reproduce
1. start firefox, press f11
2. hit the cursor to the top part of the screen to show the hidden firefox bar.
3. click the close button.
4. start firefox again(will open fullscreen)
5. see unity does not have track of firefox, its not in alt-tab nor in launcher.

need a screenshot or something, because fullscreened firefox works fine in alt-tab for me, and those around me.

Some thing mighty strange is defiantly going one. When i select View-Fullscreen, only the title/unity-bar is hidden, alle the actual browser chrom is still visable (it used to autohide). If i then press F11 the bar comes back, but looking in the View menu Fullscreen appears checked.

If xchat-gnome and firefox is set in fullscreen mode, exiting fullscreen mode in on of them will switch to the other application.

AJenbo, I can reproduce this bug with a little testing and have updated the description. the issue reported in comment#3 is another bug and would be helpful if reported seperately.

Thanks for clearing it up. I reported a new bug for comment#3 -> Bug #778653

The issue is not specific to Firefox as someone in the duplicate bug also reproduced it with another application.
