Do you use compiz or beryl?

I had this problem once when one of those two also used F11 as a shortcut, it might be the same thing.

Have you tried a new profile?

Is this something like Bug #54548 ?

Not sure Thomas. As I said, it happens on FireFox.
And yes, I do have vlc plugin for mozilla. I might try uninstaling that if u think it helps.

I don't think uninstalling will help. I just wanted to know if you can go to fullscreen mode with the _standalone_ VLC player. Can you?

using the "F" key shortcut, VLC wont maximize.

does F11 work on some sites, but not on others or is it broken everywhere?

What extensions do you have installed? if you have any installed, try to run

  # firefox -safe-mode

and let us know if that helps.

So this is not only true for Firefox.
I think it also affects VLC. Have a look at Bug #54548.

I've done a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.04 based on herd4.
even with default FF profile, I cant get F11 key to work.

can it be a keyboard function mal set?
