Actually, the F11 key didn't use to be scriptable (via prefs.js et  
al). That was my original motivation to upload xul-ext-fullscreen to  
Debian. At that time, I needed a browser on a customer system that  
started in fullscreen right away. Actually, at work I will need this  
feature soon again (haven't been in need for it for a while).

I actually just notice that xul-ext-fullscreen 1.0.4 is unusable with  
Iceweasel 32.x. That's a pity.

Do you have any clue, if fullscreen can be achieved with latest  
Iceweasel without explicitly hitting the F11 key?

Let's get the above sorted out and then I will be with you.
