Is there any way so FF in full screen mode do not force other application to hide? i would like to use full screen mode more often but for instance it force my winamp to hide and i cant switch music or use any other app that i would like to at the same time when I'm browsing the web. I think it would be very usefull for many ppl who brows pictures etc. and for navigation they use mouse commands. Thanks.

Full screen means what the name says and if Firefox is in full screen mode the the entire screen is used and all other application windows are hidden.

You can use Alt + Tab to switch to another window of toggle full screen mode with the F11 key.
