Can I setup Safari to open in full screen on launch??

Anyone know how this can be done rather than pressing the full screen window when it launches.
Am I missing something really obvious??
Thanks in Advance

You are right. But you have  to use the modifier key "option" to modify the default behavior.
Clicking the grey double arrow icon once Safari window is reopened, serves the same purpose.
I was answering to the question of launching Safari in Full Screen mode by default.
Best.

  • How to have new Safari windows open in full screen?

    Hello,
    I am wondering if it is possible to have new Safari windows take up the full screen. For example, if I click on a link that opens a new window, I would like that new window to take on the fully maximized setting of the window it came from. So even if the website code says the window has to be 50% screen real estate, I would like to be 100% every time automatically.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the forums!
    Yet another great thing that Glims can do!
    If you want to fix your Google search to a specific Google location, I recommend that you download and install the free plug-in Glims:
    http://www.machangout.com/
    which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff! (Such as automatically deleting Flash cookies, enabling Safari to run full-screen, and more.)
    (It adds items to Safari Preferences).
    Not only does it already list a number of search engines and regions, but you can also add any other search engine not already listed in Glims by using the method described here:
    http://www.machangout.com/tutorials/addsearchengine
    Just enter the name you give the search engine in the name field, and the URL for it in the Query URL field.
    When you have it, the setting is in Glims Preferences/General

  • I watch netflix on a secondary screen - my TV - but since I downloaded the Firefox update I can only get Netflix to open a full screen to my laptop. I get a full scren on my TV through Safari, or from Hulu on either browser. What is going on?

    Thanks so much for your reply fanboy20. 
    Yes, just made sure of that.  I do have the latest version of Flash player.  But I have just staggered upon the answer.  Chalk it up to being a newbi.  I was not putting my apple tv to sleep and it would not allow me to see
    you tube on my computer while it was still operating on my TV.  When I realized that, I put the apple tv to sleep and bingo, my computer runs you tube fine.   Thanks again for your response.

  • How can I get my safari screen to open in full screen mode

    My Safari screen open with a small window, can I set it to open in full screen every time I click on Safari

    You need to enable the program to resume what it was doing. so go to:
    System Preferences > General > Uncheck "Close windows when quitting an application".
    then go to safari, size the window how you want it, in your case put it in full screen, and then quit the program. when you open up safari again it should be in full screen view.
    Hope that helps!

  • When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

    Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar).  Choose "General".  Click "Always close windows when quitting an application".
    That should fix it.

  • Safari will not open in full screen mode

    After installing the 3-1-14 update from the Apps Store, Safari will not open in full screen mode when I click the double arrow in the upper right corner of the screen. If I try the View>Enter Full Screen it still will not open full screen. Prior to this update, everything was fine. I know the info on the update says it deals with iTunes and iBooks, but after installing it my problems began.
    I am running the Mavericks (all updates installed) on an Mac mini (late 2013 edition), 16GB RAM.
    Any suggestions?

    Please disregard my question. The issue disappeared after a cold boot. Thanks.

    Mountain Lion is set up to close windows when you quit a program instead of saving them. To change this, put Safari in full-screen mode, move the cursor to the top, open Safari menu while holding Option key and close Safari from the menu.
    If you want to do it automatically with all programmes, open System Preferences > General, and deactivate "Close windows when quitting an application"

  • Can't get safari to open with lion.  Any ideas?

    Hi,  Have been struggling to with lion and safari.  Feel like I'm on a safari.  Can't get safari to open. When it does, crashes immediately.  Any ideas?

    Nasty.  I have some ideas:
    Can you open Safari in a different user account? (that will help to determine if it is a corrupt install or something systemwide).
    Do you have any 3rd party add-ons for Safari?  Try disabling them.

  • I can't get my applications to open to full screen. The apps are opening at about 75% and I cant figure out how to get them to open to the full screen.

    I cant get my applications to open to full screen. The apps are opening up to about 75% and i cant get them to extend to full screen.

    Which applications are you talking about? 
    Example: Browser application - At the bottom right corner of a browser window you will see a small square with 3 diagnal lines.  Place your cursor in that corner to stretch out your window to full screen.  The next time you open your browser app, the window will be full screen.
