I have the same problem, but I haven’t noticed the relation with updates.
Also, I think this is not a duplicate of #99740, at least the reporter does not mention loose of control, I can return to normal screen by entering and then leaving real full screen mode (i. e. pressing F11 twice).

The duplicate status is correct, search for "F11" and you can see the same comments mentioned there. Please note the workaround in the original report, and also that the problem is fixed with firefox-3.1.

same happens here, it's really annoying. the worst part is that i don't notice what triggers the problem, it's just random. and i lose the controls as well, crazy spinning circle. F11 man F11.
