Title:
  [Browser] F11 should toggle app-level fullscreen

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Fix Released
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Pressing F11 should toggle the application level fullscreen.
  Note that this is different from page level fullscreen, which is triggered by the page itself.

  We should research if we want to merge the two concepts so that for
  the user there is only one notion of fullscreen and only one way to
  exit fullscreen, regardless of how it was activated (F11 or page
  interaction).

  Or if we want to have to have one way to escape app level fullscreen
  (e.g. F11) and one to escape page level fullscreen (e.g. ESC)

  [Design Comment]
  Agree with Bill Filler & Olivier Tilloy's first suggestion (i.e. concepts should be merged/ be consistent). It would appear they do not need to be mutually exclusive, so:

  - If Page triggers fullscreen: Navigating back/away from page that
  triggered FS, Pressing f11 (toggle FS/ Windowed) or Pressing Esc
  (return to windowed from FS only) returns to windowed mode.

  - If User triggers fullscreen: Navigation has no effect on FS/
  Windowed modes, Pressing f11 (toggle FS/ Windowed) or Pressing Esc
  (return to windowed from FS only) returns to windowed mode.
