I recently purchased a new laptop. It works very well, but one thing has been getting on my nerves.

When I try to watch a video in full screen, it just makes it take up all the space INSIDE Firefox, keeping the side scroller and menu bar at the top. On my old laptop, also with the latest version of Firefox, the same video will play in normal full screen.

On YouTube full screen works fine though. I'm rather confused.
