That's redundant with Full Screen mode. (Internet Explorer for Mac had 
a "Collapse Toolbars" item like this, and I assume this was because it 
didn't have a full-screen mode.)

Windows opened by JavaScript usually aren't reused, because they have 
not only the wrong chrome, but also an inconvenient size. So where 
chrome is turned back on in them, I would expect it's usually 
individual items -- to copy the URL, or to see loading progress. That 
doesn't deserve a "turn everything back on" item.
