I'm running Firefox 14.0.1 on Mountain Lion (yes, the final official version), with the 'Roomy Bookmarks Toolbar'.

When I enter full screen mode, my bookmarks bar completely disappears. Any way to fix this?

Chosen solution

in the address bar type the following

about:config

press enter and accept the warning, in the filter box type full screen and find the parameter that says something like autohide

Change this to false.... restart firefox :)

I have a similar issue, but without the toolbar. Fullscreen automatically hides all Firefox toolbar. Hovering cursor at the top of the screen reveals Firefox tool/nav bars, overlayed with the Mac file menubar. Clumsy.

Great Result @mds1256. Thanks!

The bookmark toolbar is still concealed. Is there anyway to change that?

I see, didn't notice that as I don't have that tool bar visible any way. But yes I see what you mean, looks like a bug I think.
