Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

On open in Intrepid, FF fills entire screen, blocking out Ubuntu menu bar (top) and the status bar (bottom), but still showing it's own menu and the bookmarks toolbar. An F11 switches it to true fullscreen, then a second F11 displays FF as it should, with Intrepid menu bar redisplayed, Firefox w/menu and toolsbar, and status bar below.

Also, Help/About achieves similar behavior, but w/o the FF menu bar showing, and the Intrepid menu/status bar restored. When you click on the placeholder in the status bar, you have options to minimize or unmaximize. When you minimize and maximize again, you're back where you started, with the Intrepid menu gone and the status bar gone. Unmaximize has no effect.

System is AMD Athlon with onboard video. Monitor is 17", 1024 resolution. Intrepid is up to date on patches.
