So, in fact this bug has been fixed by the fix for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1192655 -- pressing Alt plus a letter when in fullscreen mode no longer opens hidden menus, and thus pressing F11 to get out of fullscreen mode will always work.
The desire of the other bug report (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648504) is that Alt+letter should open the requested menu *visibly*, so that the menus can be used even when the menu bar itself is hidden. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571229 Title: Menus are not shown when accessed by keys in full screen mode, but they work Status in Mozilla Firefox: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in firefox-3.5 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 marcingo@idevele:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

The File menu appears. I can see that the key for print preview is V as it is underlined. I press V. The print preview appears. Fullscreen mode: I press Alt-F. The File menu does NOT appear. I press V just in case. The print preview appears. Always reproducible. Expected Results: The menu should be displayed upon the corresponding keypress in fullscreen mode as well. It is worst with the Bookmarks, because they change and by the time one memorizes a keystroke combination, a new bookmark or submenu will likely make it invalid.
