Large icons in full screen mode?

I currently run with large icons. When I use the full screen mode with toolbars enabled, the icons shrink to their smallest size. This happens with versions 4, 5 and 8 nightly; with default icons and any extensions or themes. Can anyone point me to what I need to change to stop the icons from going to the small version?

Probably not.
The DOM Inspector shows that the current setup is saved and new attributes are created in full screen mode.

saved-mode="full"
saved-iconsize="large"
mode="icons"
iconsize="small"
inFullscreen="true"

A possibility is to use a script like this in the Code field in the Error Console or with an extension that allows to run code with chrome permissions.


const Cc=Components.classes, Ci=Components.interfaces;
var wm = Cc["@mozilla.org/appshell/window-mediator;1"].getService(Ci.nsIWindowMediator);
var mW = wm.getMostRecentWindow("navigator:browser");
mW.document.getElementById("nav-bar").setAttribute("iconsize","large");

Thanks for the info. I could not get your code to work (my fault, I'm sure). I did however find a large icon'ed theme that did not shrink the buttons at all when I went to full screen. By looking at their code, I was able to make my own that had the same size buttons all the time. Thanks for your quick response and help.
