[Bug 220803] [NEW] firefox hides menu bar in full screen mode

[ethana2]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

In one month I'm going to in all probability buy an Ubuntu Dell Inspiron
with a display that is 1440 by 900 pixels.  I don't want to waste that
space, so I customized my firefox such that /everything/ is in the menu
bar, and there is no navigation bar.  Because the navigation bar does
not exist, I have no control over the window state via GUI when in
fullscreen mode.  I should be able to customize firefox such that the
window controls are /also/ in the menu bar, and the menu bar is, of
course, displayed by firefox when in full screen mode.  ..I also want
those controls when firefox is not in full screen mode.

I'm going to get rid of my window title bars because they're just a
waste of space, and it may be a while until the gnome window list is
fixed up (switched from button widgets to tabs and has simple window
controls added, autoexpands, uses bold text for in-focus window title,
etc.  ..so having window controls in my firefox menu bar would be
extremely handy for me.
