I really wish fullscreen windows weren't so easy to open. On latest Firefox desktop, I click a button, and a fullscreen windows gets opened. No confirmation dialog, it just puts the browser in kiosk mode without my permission. This could be used to phish people since you could create a plausible looking browser interface with fake address bars etc The savvy among us probably won't fall for it, but the non-savvy could get duped easily.
