Bug Description

Actually to exit the fullscreen mode you need to pull up, but this gesture also brings the tabs listing view, so i think the right gesture is pull down which make the browser-app exist fullscreen mode and the user will start pulling the notification bar which i think the correct behavior for him.

The current behaviour was implemented according to design. I can see how the fact that exiting fullscreen also brings up the tabs view may be confusing to the user.
However only the bottom edge can be used by apps. The browser wouldn’t have a way of knowing that the top edge has been pulled down. Adding an ubuntu-ux task anyway, in case the design team wants to comment.

Yeah i mean even right now if you pull down it makes the browser exist the fullscreen mode only compared to the pull up gesture.

I’m not seeing that, at least not on rc-proposed: if I browse to http://blogs.sitepointstatic.com/examples/tech/full-screen/index2.html and tap on the squirrel to make it go fullscreen, then pulling down the indicators bar (partially or completely) doesn't exit fullscreen.
