[nfbcs] Firefox and a disappearing menu bar

[Rasmussen, Lloyd]

15 years ago, the Mosaic browser had a "kiosk mode", which was toggled with ctrl-K.  Internet Explorer has F11, which similarly switches "full-screen mode" on and off.  I don't know whether Firefox has an analog of F11 or not.

Subject: [nfbcs] Firefox and a disappearing menu bar

Hi all,

    I have no idea how this happens, but sometimes, my menu bar in Firefox will disappear, and there is no nonvisual way to get it back that I can figure out. The only thing that has been successful in doing so is having someone with a pair of working eyes click on a particular spot on the screen which will bring it back. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon and come across a way to make the menu bar reappear without needing to use the mouse? Any help here is appreciated. I am using Firefox 5, JAWS11 and Windows XP, for some background information on my system.

 

Thanks in advance for any help. Feel free to write me off list.
