Firefox run at fullscreen(I mean ubuntu screen), just like Lion's or iPad's Safari (Lion's version of firefox didn't auto fullscreen yet). We can windowed-mode-ed it by hovering mouse at top edge of screen, it'll show menu-bar too

 To access shared folder on Lion named vbox, I opened terminal by clicking Dash home and type terminal on search box

From Oneiric Ocelot

 First create directory

aravir@aravir-VirtualBox:~$mkdir vbox

mount shared vbox on lion using this command

aravir@aravir-VirtualBox:~$sudo mount -t vboxsf vbox vbox 

at screenshot you know it generate error because ubuntu did'nt recognize vboxsf filesystem. To introduce it, guest addition must be installed.

Failed. Guest addition need root privilege.

aravir@aravir-VirtualBox:~$cd /Media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.1.6_74713
$sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

After guest addition installed and the system restarted (it's support full screen on my Macbook monitor now), retype the command above, and done
