Full-screen mode in Firefox on Mac OS X?

Full-screen mode in Firefox on Mac OS X? Does anyone know of a solid solution for adding a full-screen mode to Firefox (3.5) on OS X? I've come across a few possibilities involving either Javascript bookmarklets or outdated add-ons, but nothing that works very well.

"if you go into the info.plist file for your FireFox application and add in an item for Application UI Presentation Mode you can automatically hide the dock and the menu bar whenever the application is active:

That way as soon as you launch it the menu and dock will disappear and you can just hit the zoom button to fill the entire screen. Tabbing over to the other applications will bring back the dock and menubar as will mousing up to the top and bottom edges when firefox is in focus."

Firefox 3.6 allows this: Shift-Apple-F

"If you want full screen mode on most Mac apps you need to add it using a utility like mega zoom. Check version tracker to see if megazoomer is ready to be installed on whatever version of OS X you're running.

The menu bar takes up such a tiny amount of usable screen real estate that it really doesn't matter.

This isn't a Firefox solution, but Plainview is apparently the only full screen browser for OS X. It has lots of unique features that aren't in Firefox, such as a presentation mode, where preset websites can be switched between using the keyboard, and a kiosk mode. It can also be run as a chrome free HUD window.
