Firefox will not leave fullscreen mode by using the F11 key.
Issue
- Unable to leave fullscreen mode in Firefox (F11 key) even after Firefox is restarted.
- When Firefox is put into full screen mode (by pressing F11 key), it is closed, and then subsequently re-launched, it gets stuck in full screen mode.

When it is in this state pressing F11 will not revert Firefox back to it's normal screen mode.
Steps to reproduce
- Start Firefox
- Press F11 to enter full screen mode
- Close Firefox without leaving full screen mode
- Start Firefox again
- Try to exit full screen mode by pressing F11
