1) delete /root/.mozilla


There probably should also be a step:
Code:
0) Back up bookmark file

If I delete /root/.mozilla then the bug goes away alltogether. I reckon it's something to do with the legacy stuff I have been putting in /root (fontsize, homepage etc) and it seems to bork these newer mozilla browsers.


My work around does not require the deletion of /root/.mozilla. Apologies for miscommunication. I'll edit the post.

If you set up the key board shortcut as described then you can just restart jwm from that and you'll get the jwm title bar back allowing you to minimise the browser window. The browser does not return to normal functionality until it is restarted. At least this saves deleting bookmarks and losing work.

I am trying to get to the bottom of this bug, while we as experienced users can perform work arounds like this it would be most frustrating for a newbie.

I'm using FF 5.0, and the problem is in the ./mozilla folder. Restarting JWM or X doesn't resolve it (nor does Alt-F5, etc...). I have a button that restores a .mozilla backup that works nicely. As noted, problem only occurs with JWM.

Problem is in:

/root/.mozilla/firefox/o7xjvn5k.default/localstore.rdf

xxxx.default number differs for everyone. Deleting the file restores.

edit: changing sizemode to "normal from "fullscreen" in localstore.rdf also works. This happens automatically when the browser is able to be minimized.

Code:

~/.mozilla/firefox/o7xjvn5k.default # sed -i 's/fullscreen/normal/g' localstore.rdf



fixit script:
Code:

#!/bin/sh

DEF="$(find /root/.mozilla/ -type f | grep  "localstore.rdf")"
sed -i "s/fullscreen/normal/g" "$DEF"

PostPosted: Fri 03 Feb 2012, 11:33    Post subject: I still have issues with Firefox and Fullscreen Mode  
I installed the pet listed here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=568235#568235 and I was missing some libraries.

I installed the pet listed here: http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02507 and it installed correctly with no missing libraries. I was able to type in the command "jwm -v" and it showed that I was running the updated version. I restarted JWM and tried Full Screen in Firefox 9.0.1. I get into Full Screen with F11 and then I can't get back out of Full Screen. I found a post that pointed me in the right direction of where the problem lies and I am pretty sure it's some sort of Firefox bug. Or perhaps some sort of Puppy Linux incompatibility with the way Firefox expects things done.

My current workaround is to install the add-on Customizable Shortcuts and change the F11 shortcut to something like Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Home. Anyone who guesses that combo needs to get a life. Smile

That still leaves me with a Non-Functional Full Screen, but there's not much else I can see to fix the problem.

On a side note, if you go into about:config and change the "browser.fullscreen.autoohide" to false. You can enter and exit Full Screen Mode without a problem. The downside is that your (my) Browser Toolbar No Longer Works.

I am using Puppy Linux 5.28. I am running it in Virtualbox, but I do not think that is the problem. Unless it is some sort of video hardware issue. In which case I am totally up the creek without a paddle. Smile

I tried that updated version, but still no dice. I end up with the same result.

jpeps in a post above this one posted about localstore.rdf.

The file localstore.rdf in your firefox profile does not change back to "normal" window mode.

Excerpt from file after switching to full screen:
Code:
<RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#main-window"
screenX="0"
screenY="0"
width="800"
height="600"
sizemode="fullscreen"


If you edit the file and change the sizemode to "normal" it is no longer in full screen when you start firefox. The bookmarks toolbar does not work though.

I use Firefox's Profile Manager to delete the profile and create a new one.
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox -profilemanager
(Typing firefox -profilemanager just starts firefox instead of the profile manager.)

Excerpt from file in a Pristine Profile:
Code:
<RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#main-window"
screenX="0"
screenY="0"
sizemode="normal"
width="794"
height="547"


Deleting the profile and creating a new profile Fixes All of the problems until you go back into Full Screen Mode again.

Install the Wine pet.

Install Firefox - Windows edition.

No Full Screen Problem.

New Problem. => Performance Issues. Unless you have a nice machine. Even then you might notice some problems. I will test a bit more, but this is probably not a good option for me. Smile

Yeah....., I figured out my problem.

One of my Add-Ons was causing the problem.

When in doubt check Every piece that might be a problem.

The up side is that I have an updated JWM and psync in my puppy. Smile

Thanks for the help pemasu. Smile

Upon further testing: Problem was the user. Smile
There is no problem with my add-on. Public Fox is a smidge buggy, but it works. You have to have a password set that way it asks you for the password and opens the Bookmarks toolbar like it should. Otherwise it doesn't work.

I did have a blinking full screen window issue. Where it would not exit out of full screen correctly. That was solved with my upgraded JWM.
