I'm running Debian Testing (Jessie) with a 3.15-10.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64 kernel. I'm running Mozilla Nightly 34.0a1. All is well except in full-screen mode. The problem is present whether running a video using the Flashplayer or HTML5. When playing a video and selecting "Full-screen mode" Firefox goes into full-screen as usual, except... the tab bar appears above the so-called "full" screen and so does the navigation/search bar which appears just below the tab bar and just above the video itself.

I can make this problem disappear by creating a new profile which is basically a "blank slate" (nothing added). I can show you a screen-shot if you wish to see the non-full-screen yourselves.

Here it is, as requested. I found out today that the problem only exists when I'm viewing a video from youtube. I tried videos on www.guardian.co.uk and the iPlayer on the www.bbc.co.uk site and they behave completely normally. There is no tab bar or navigation bar above the video.

Here is another hint about this problem. A second annoying "feature" of full-screen is that it wipes out the Bookmarks sidebar. When I return to normal view (not full-screen) the bookmark sidebar is gone and I have to reconfigure it via the View->Sidebar->Bookmarks menu. In today's Nightly the problem has now spread to the Guardian's videos although the BBC's iPlayer is still immune from this problem

Then switch to the Firefox Full-Screen Mode. Click the button and then on Fullscreen.

Been there. Done that. No help at all. The behaviour of the Bookmarks sidebar makes me suspect this is a definite bug of nightly.

When I go to F11 the screen expands but leaves the tabs and url space as two lines at the top of the screen. I have a screen shot of this.

How do I change things to make the full screen without these lines of unwanted information?

Hi dsiddens

You can right-click empty space on the Tab bar or Navigation Toolbar to open the toolbar context menu and set a tick on "Hide Toolbars".

Went to a desktop which showed tabs, and tried the right click. It wasn't until after I "excerised" the '+' in the upper right corner that the full screen became free of the unwanted bars.

So a big thank you for your prompt help on this!
