What happened to the command line option:
-fullscreen

I would like it to start fullscreen, if I want menu I will happily press a user configurable key to have the menu / tab bar / status bar slid down over the page. You should be able to disable the mouse flyby autohide setup and use a key.

I’m sorry if i’m missing something but… FF3, and its 3? full-screen extensions do NOT deliver true full screen.
You’re still stuck with the titlebar on top.
I ditched Opera because they’re in denial about the total inadequacy of their widget system but they do 3 appearance things Right: Zoom-to-fit, hideable scroll bars [that don't enlarge along with page zoom too] and true full-screen.

I really wish the menu bars would just draw over the web page… It’s super annoying to have it push the page down and have it hop back and forth when you want to see the menu / tabs.

This isn’t work for Firefox 3 Beta 4 in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon).. And, in a fullscreen, when you try to select some text, it becomes so slow!!! But, in a normal window (no fullscreen) there is no problem.

And, finally, in fullscreen mode, there is no submenu on the toolbars when I click the right buton.

Can you (or somebody) submit al this bugs??

I just downloaded Firefox 3 Beta 4 RC and it is really good. I liking the XP theme, I need to test it out on my Ubuntu laptop once I get home. I am glad that Mozilla put in true full screen.

Yep, I agree on the timer. Perhaps two seconds even. Otherwise, this is a great new feature!

if you are switching/moving through tabs, it is fairly difficult to stay in the tab bar because even just moving your mouse a pixel off the navigation/tab bar will make them disappear. it’d be nice if there was a 1 sec timer of some sort before they actually collapsed above
