I believe this is a bug.

After a FF browser is Maximized, then Full Screened, if it is then closed and reopened, it will reopen in Full Screen. BUT canceling Full Screen from that window will result to a 'Normal [small] Window" not a Maximized window. This may only occur when one instance of FF is used.

This is an annoyance when the Full Screen feature is canceled to be able to use a tool bar which is set to not show when the browser is in Full Screen.

I am using Vista Home Premium 32 bit with all updates and FF 4.0. FF 3.6 did not do this. Also this quirk only happens ONCE. After manually correcting this bug, as long as I have the same window open, I will be able to exit Full Screen into a Maximized screen.

If I were to close the above Full Screen browser then reopen it and cancel Full Screen, the browser will go back to "Normal [small] Window.
