Comment 15 for bug 571229

I'm running Firefox 27.0.1 on Windows 7 with the US-International keyboard. In full-screen mode, the Menu Bar is "permanently" hidden rather than auto-hidden, and it is completely nonfunctional. There is no way to display or access it in full-screen mode, whether by moving the pointer to the top of the screen, pressing F10, pressing and releasing the leftAlt key, or pressing a leftAlt keyboard shortcut (e.g., leftAlt+v for the View menu or leftAlt+T for the Tools menu). (The rightAlt key is used for typing special characters in the US-International keyboard.) The only way to regain access to the Menu Bar (and its menus) is to exit full-screen mode.

This is a MAJOR inconvenience for me, for two reasons:

(1) I am using Tab Mix Plus's multi-row Tab Bar option, which eats up vertical webpage space in regular display mode. Full-screen display mode is very useful in recovering that space. (NOTE: changing the Tab Bar to a single row display in Tab Mix Plus does not eliminate the permanently hidden Menu Bar problem.)

(2) I have placed most of my toolbar buttons on the Menu Bar. (I gather that that particular customization may be limited or eliminated in Australis, but I'm planning on restoring it with extensions). I use my toolbar buttons extremely frequently, and having to toggle back and forth between full-screen and regular display modes is not a practical option.

For me, this qualifies as a MAJOR bug.
