 > > Ubuntu 12.04 with XFCE/Unity: If I resize a window by grabbing and
 dragging it (or just try to resize it ending up with the same size) and
 want to enter fullscreen mode the window size stays the same while the
 remaining parts of the screen get filled with black. I think the browser
 window should get as large as possible in this case (as usual) and not
 stay the same size. This does work properly if I don't try to resize
 first.

 Was able to reproduce this in Debian 7 + XFCE (unsurprisingly), and this
 XPI seemed to fix it.

 A nonideality is when you go full screen it zooms according to the space
 left below the navigation bar and title bar, but after a second those
 disappear, so you are left with a large black margin at the bottom of the
 screen.

 Also, an XFCE edge case (that is probably not worth worrying about): If
 you shade a window, resize the shaded window, then unshade, there is a
 grey margin at the right of the window.  (I personally never use window
 shading except by accident, and this seems like an odd thing to do.)
