(Chrome Like) Auto-Hide Tab bar in Safari Full Screen mode

Is there a plugin or some other way to auto hide the tab bar in Safari fullscreen mode like the way Chrome does?
This is the only thing stopping me from using Safari, it's way smoother than Chrome and feels much more native to Lion, but the fact the tab bar just keeps hanging there is annoying.
I tried the Cmd+I method mentioned in the community, but it only works when you're only opening one tab, if you open several tabs, the tab bar will show up again. It also comes back up once you exit Full Screen mode.
Thanks for your help !

Hello myzzzl, this is normal behavior in full screen mode, you can set the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.fullscreen.autohide browser.fullscreen.autohide] in about:config to False, to change that, but if you do that tabs and location bar is enabled in full screen mode.
wait if another contributor/helper give you a code which I don't know.
thank you

  • Safari 5.0.2 doesn't hide menu bar with flash full screen mode

    I have scoured these forums and others for an answer. I have deleted every little bit of Safari and Adobe/Macromedia/Flash preference file. I even tried using an older backup, which worked until I updated Safari on it.
    The menu bar won't go away!
    Is this a well known problem, or am I an unlucky slob?

    Unlucky so far, I'd say.
    So, picking something in particular so we're on the same page... does this refuse to hide the bar too?
    Is a New User Account the same ?

  • Any way to turn off Safari's full screen, auto hide tab bar mode?

    FInally took the plunge and upgraded to iOS 8 on one of our i-devices.  Really like the Panorama camera mode-- well done, Apple!
    However, I was staggered to find that Safari now hides the tab bar as soon as you start scrolling down a web page!  What's with that?  I guess lots people wanted a full screen mode.  OK, but for the rest of us, is there an option to turn off that mode and keep the tabs permanently visible?
    With the new set up (now old to many of you), it takes 2 taps every time you want to close a tab or move to another one.  That gets old fast!  Plus, the animation each time is visually distracting and tiring and also gets tiresome.  My browsing involves a lot of switching among tabs, so this is a real step backwards.
    Hope there's a work around!  Otherwise, we're going to have to leave our iPad Air at iOS 7! 

    Jim, appreciate the reply.  Yes, I have submitted it as feedback to Apple!
    I also stumbled upon the tap at top... The scroll upwards, though, rarely works for me!  For example, here on this site one has to scroll down a long way, quickly.  (It gets confusing, doesn't it?  One slides down to scroll upwards!)
    In browsing today, I realized that my habit is to come to the end of a story, then tap the close button on the tab bar, which takes me to the next tab and its story.   Now, under iOS 8, I end up having to tap, watch the animation, then locate the button, and tap again.  It doesn't sound like much, but it's a nuisance when one is moving from tab to tab reading news stories.
    Of course, if I could wave a magic wand and fix just one thing about the iOS, it would be the incredibly lousy handling of contractions via auto-correct.  It virtually never works unless one slows their typing down to the speed of molasses!   I've used the feedback on that one, too, but iOS 8 in any of its incarnations has not fixed that!

  • Safari hides nav bar as though full screen

    Lately (the last month) Safari hides the nav bar across the top as though in full screen mode; to exit this I need to hit esc twice. That then minimizes window and the nav bar shows. I can't find a way to show the nav bar in full mode (not in full screen). This is new, frustrating, and likely sending me back to Firefox. Any answers?

    I agree, it should stay visible, but you can get it back with one-click by View->Customize Toolbar, then drag the  "Boormark Bar" button to the toolbar.  When in Full Screen, click the button:
    Seems like it will stay visable in subsequent Full Screens.

  • Menu Bar items invisible in Safari full screen mode

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro 13" Retina, mid-2014 (the MGX72). When I use Safari in full screen mode, then move the cursor to the very top of the screen, which is supposed to bring back the Menu bar, a blank space representing the Menu Bar appears, and if I move the cursor to any place on that blank space and click, I see the items/options associated with Menu Bar items. So it's like the Menu Bar items are there, but they're invisible. This has to be a glitch of some type. My MacBook Air doesn't do this; the Menu Bar items appear normally, as they should. Is there a fix for this? All the usual suspects for bringing Safari out of full screen mode work fine, but that's not the idea. The Menu Bar items are supposed to become visible and they do not.

    No, dont return it, its a glitch in Safari, and VERY annoying. I first would have to Force Quit Safari, but later learned to keep hovering the mouse in the upper right corner, even tho nothing, yeah nothing,,,,is visible.
    Keep the mouse there, and after a bit, you will see the little arrows pointing in, hit them.
    But to keep this from happening again, Im not sure.
    So anybody with further info, please post it here.

  • Safari Full Screen Mode not full screen

    In full screen mode in Safari 7 I cannot hide the tool bar.  Hide toolbar is greyed out. This used to be possible in the previous version of Safari.  Is there a way round this?
    Curiously most of the toolbar can disappear in non full screen mode.
    David

    Hmm, i think i phrased original question badly, i am looking for auto-hide to be featured in normal window mode as well as fullscreen, and whatever else designers and programmers can dream up and not execute poorly.
    I have now disabled all EXTENSIONS and removed all 3rd party bars (google, sharethis, never used nayway;) and as my suspicions confirmed Safari is running much better. I was very suspicious of this when it was added as it seemed like trying to match Firefox, which I also gave up some time ago in place of Chrome as my second browser, although I use Safari for 90%. The extensions i think causes freezing when i had Parallels running a Windows VM at the same time and also other times when not.
    The extensions is a bit stupid in my opinion as any niggling, minor feature of a website should be addresses to the website rather than the browser. Where adverts are concerned, well, just use the web less or more specifically!
    I think I'm fine with Toolbar/URL-search and bookmark bar, its great - simple and not intrusive. I believe EXTENSIONS introduction gave me some sort of weird mental outlook and would urge Apple to be more careful in bringing in different types of features unnecessarily.

  • Google Search in Safari(full-screen mode)

  • Mountain Lion - missing menu bar when in full screen mode

    Hi,
    just installed ML on my late 2008 MacBookPro 15´. Everything works ok except the fact that I lose my menu bar when I switch a screen in full screen mode. Bringing my mouse pointer to the top of the screen usually dropped down the menu bar. Not so anymore with ML.
    Does anyone experienced the same issue? Is this a setting preference?
    Thanks!

    I just got QT Pro 7.1.3, but I just can't seem to get rid of that annoying menu bar. Even the older 6.5.1 didn't show the menu bar when in Presentation mode.
    Can't really help you. Seems to work properly in OS 10.4.8 for me. May be a bug that only shows up when QT v7.1.3 is used with OS 10.3.9 which needs to be reported.

  • How do I turn off/hide strip viewer when in Full Screen mode?!?!

    this is stuck in the on position. not sure if this is something new from 1.5.6 or if something just clicked but it always seems to be in the way and i want it gone! Any ideas?

    yours is showing all the time? mine only shows when my mouse is at the bottom of the screen.
    However it also shows for me in non-fullscreen mode after i've switched to a different Space (in Leopard) and back. Have to go into fullscreen and then out of it to make it disappear.

  • The tab bar in Safari does not update automatically

    Hello,
    I have a strange problem with Safari full screen mode and the tab bar always displayed, it does "not update" alone. In fact when I, for example, two tabs and I created a third (by clicking a link) it does not appear immediately. I have to either click on the tab bar and pretend to move one, either click the "Naviagtion tabs" for bar tabs emtte update.
    A little heavy, huh?
    All my software are up to date and even reinstalled recently, but the problem is still present.
    OS X Lion Mountain / / Safari 6.0.2
    Regards

    I solved the problem by uninstalling Glims.

  • My safari window is disappearing in non full screen mode OSX Lion

    Hi Guys,
    I seem to have the following problem. not sure exactly how it started as my wife was using the mac at the time (she says she just dragged the safari to different desktop via mission control) but now the situation is as follows:
    When I hit safari icon it switches on (I can see the little light dot underneath the icon and after right click I can see names of windows that are opened) however I can only see the Safari menu at the top but no window. If I scroll to the right or left to different desktops it's not there, the same goes if I double tap to see the Mission Control mode it's not there...
    I so far figured out that once the Safari menu is visible on top of the screen I can go to View>Enter Full Screen and then Safari will come back into the full screen mode but once I unclick the full screen button in right top corner the whole window just swoops into the right top corner and it's nowhere to be found again.
    I have rebooted and it's still the same - I can only get the full screen mode or none. it's very weird. Anyone's got any suggestions?

    Thank you,
    That's not it -  Hot corners are not active, it's more like when you normally click the full screen on/off button (the two arrows facing each other) the transition happens with gray apple background and it moves either to or from full screen but here the background comes on and the window just goes into the corner and it's gone. Then when in Safari menu I go View>Enter Full Screen the window comes back exactly the same way: from top right corner into the whole screen.
    Like I can only use Safai in Full Screen mode..

  • How to use the Hide Tab Bar Command in Yosemite?

    I guess I need a lesson in some basic Safari functionality.  In Safari 8, when only one page is open (one tab, therefore), the Hide Tab Bar command in the View menu is functional.  But, when a second tab is opened, the command is grayed out and the tab bar (at least in my configuration) is on screen with both tabs.
    What is the point, therefore, of the Hide Tab Bar command if it is only functional when one tab is open?  Or, do I need to configure my Safari differently so it can be functional with many tabs open?
    Thanks for the guidance.

    I tried this solution (using CP 5.5) but only to limited success. The TOC search seems to be able to pick up on some of the script but not all. I think it might be chronological, as in it will search within the first part of the script but not in latter parts, but I can't be sure. Are there any limitations to this solution, such as script (within the text box) length? Also, this may or may not be related, but the TOC rearranged and renamed all of my slides. For example, I have no duplicate slide labels and they are in order within the project, but my TOC looks like this:
    Slide 2
    Slide 2
    Slide 3
    Slide 4
    Slide 4
    Slide 21
    Slide 40
    Slide 70
    Slide 16
    etc...
    As the project plays, the TOC status checkmarks jump around the list, appearing next to the corresponding slide (although in most cases mislabeled). Any guidance correcting these issues would be most helpful. Please let me know if you need any more information.

  • Hide Tab Bar command

    Under the View menu, there is a command that says 'Hide Tab Bar'. Mine is grayed out. Is anyone else able to select it? This command works with the Windows version.
    btw- I liked the tabs on top in the Mac beta version

    You should be able to select it. Try deleting the com.apple.safari plist from Home/Library/preferences.
