[Bug 816249] [NEW] Firefox fills screen blocking everything - F11 doesn't fix

[Leo Weltman]

Public bug reported:

Just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and started playing with it. Perhaps I hit
some key by mistake, but now Firefox fills the whole screen blocking
everything else. I hit F11 and see changes in the top menu bar, enabling
me to exit. However, I still cannot resize the application. When I
restart it, it fills the whole screen again! I am much less happy with
Ubuntu 11 than I was with 10 and have had much more difficulty find
programs/utilities ...and then finding them again. Ubuntu seems to going
the way of Windows and changing things just for no apparent good reason.
