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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571229 Title: Menus are not shown when accessed by keys in full screen mode, but they work Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “firefox-3.5” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 marcingo@idevele:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

The File menu appears. I can see that the key for print preview is V as it is underlined. I press V. The print preview appears. Fullscreen mode: I press Alt-F. The File menu does NOT appear. I press V just in case. The print preview appears. Always reproducible. Expected Results: The menu should be displayed upon the corresponding keypress in fullscreen mode as well. It is worst with the Bookmarks, because they change and by the time one memorizes a keystroke combination, a new bookmark or submenu will likely make it invalid.
