Will there be a Lion fullscreen-mode and Lion-style floating scrollbars? That would make my day!

Edit: Apparently, not so. A pity.

Does anyone know when we will see them?

Lion fullscreen is coming in Firefox 14: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639705

You can use it today on the Nightly builds from http://nightly.mozilla.org/ or in a few days on the Aurora channel: https://mozilla.org/firefox/aurora/

Lion-style scrollbars are still in progress: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636564

You can test them on the UX branch: https://msujaws.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/mozillas-ux-nightly...

So that's like, three months? Ok, not exactly the first ones on the field, but good enough for me ;)

Correct, Firefox 14 will be released in 12 weeks. (Or you'll get it in just 6 weeks if you switch to the beta channel!)

To the contrary: it will be a shame when they implement full screen if take away the current layered option. Firefox is the last major OSX browser to work in fullscreen while still allowing apps to be above or below it. With Moom's hotkeyed window positions--it's extremely convenient to bring a text editor to focus and still be able to scroll the web in the background. Mozilla, please don't let this happen!

Lion scrollbars landed on the UX channel a few days ago.

Why would you want that?

So you can run apps full screen and swipe between them. It's like focus mode for apps, switching becomes very fast, and it unifies the Macbook Air experience and iPad experience for multitasking.

Use regular full-screen and put on a new space, you got the same thing except it's not a complete fuck up when using multiple screens.
