When will Firefox be fully compatible with Lion, i.e. full-screen mode. Clicking on the double-sided arrow up in the menu bar?

No need for more detail. Everyone knows how Lion has implemented this feature. When will Firefox follow suit?

Mac OSX Lion has hit the Mac App Store. It has several new features for Safari. The features are very cool, and I am hoping that Mozilla is planning on implementing similar features with Firefox. The main ones that I'm looking for is a better full screen mode and disappearing scroll bars.

Just upgraded to Mac OS X Lion which has changed some touch pad features. Scrolling left/right between web pages with two fingers does not work. I can scroll up & down but not left & right.

Also the up/down scroll within a window on a web page also does not work. The entire page scrolls up/down, but not the page within the window.

Title says it all. I just upgraded to Mac OS X Lion, and can no longer use a finger swipe, whether one or 2 fingered, to move backwards an forwards between pages. I can still do so in Safari, but not in Firefox 5.01, my preferred browser, any longer. Doesn't matter if I try using one, two or more fingers

Is there a fix for this? Thank you.

I am getting the mentioned error every time I open and close Firefox. I ended up putting my computer clock back by two hours just so I could send this message to you all. This is a hassle, I need help. The certificate for xml.freecause.com gices the 443 error and there is no way out of the loop it enters when I press cancel. The certificate is expired and I have to set the time in my computer to a time that is before the expiration of the certificate to get firefox to work.

I ended up removing the Advantage toolbar and everything works fine now. Thank you all for your input.

Previously, I had no difficulty w/ downloading pdfs. Now all I get is a blank Firefox screen, with nothing else happening--no downloads window opening up like before, or anything else. I recently upgraded my Adobe Acrobat to 10.1.3, and I wonder whether this is related to that? Does FireFox not find the new Acrobat? I've gone through the things on the Firefox help page like changing download folder and renaming the whatever folder it was from what: rdp? to rdp.old. Does not effect problem.

I just upgraded to OSX Lion and certain websites don't load correctly in FF 5.0.1. Facebook is one specific one, and it makes me sad because I have to use Safari to look at it..... Deadspin.com does not load correctly either, but only sometimes..

Another thing that doesn't work is the two (three in old OSX) finger movement to go back and forth on websites. I don't know if that is a firefox or OSX thing though...

I use acrobat, I have change the default application to preview and tried using the js extension, but none of them works. Helps! Now I can only right click to download pdf, which sucks.
