refresh (F5 or icon) does not work with full-screen (F11) maximised screen
this is a general problem I have had with Firefox for a long time.
When I have fullscreen (F11) for reading, the F5 or icon for refresh does not work - I have to press F11 again to undo the fullscreen before the F5 screen refresh will work.
If you could fix this, it would be great - thanks !

Try using {Ctrl + F5} while in FullScreen mode.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
- Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
- Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
>In Firefox 4 Safe mode also disables plugins (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and hardware acceleration (Tools > Options > Advanced > General)
