Disable full screen mode on Google Chrome?

I know this has been a problme for many for a while now but I was wondering if they have finally fixed this very annoying problem?

Swipe up from the bottom of the web page and the toolbar disappears which then enables the full screen mode. As soon as you swipe down on the screen, the toolbar will reappear. This does not function in the same way that a true full screen mode works, like it does in iCab Mobile, but that's as good as it gets in Chrome.

Disable Full Screen Mode

I've finally gotten my mother-in-law comfortable with her Mac and now Full Screen Mode has thrown her for a loop. She will inadvertently go into Full Screen and then never remembers how to get out of it.
Is there a way to set System Preferences so that none of the applications will go into full screen mode?

I can't find one either, like many new Lion features this only gets activated by accident and its a struggle each time to make it go away.

Google Search in Safari(full-screen mode)

After freshly launching safari directly in the full screen mode, the Google search bar does not display search suggestions or history. Is it just me or its persistent with everyone on 10.7?

I have the same issue.. here is my topic

Disable full screen safari on iPhone

After upgrading to iOS 7, I noticed that the toolbar disappears in safari while browsing. I am a heavy user of the back button and the bookmarks button. Both of them only require a single touch to use in iOS 6. Now that the toolbar disappears, if I want to use the back button, I either have swipe completely left to right or swipe down to get the toolbar back so I can use the back button. For the bookmarks button, I have to swipe down to bring back the toolbar and then I can use it. Alternatively, I can try to chicken peck the bottom of the screen with the hopes that the toolbar will reappear. If I use this alternative approach, sometimes it works, sometimes nothing happens, and sometimes I hit an ad by mistake.
Is there a way to disable full screen mode in safari on iPhone? I will gladly give up the additional real estate to have a persistent toolbar. It works better with the way I browse.

Try this app. I've used it for a year or so and it takes full screen pics. It doesnt offer a ton of advanced functionality but it works. It also allows users to take photos by tapping anywhere on the screen (which was my original reason for downloading). Enjoy

How to disable dock in full screen mode?

Hi, every time im full screen the dock are bugging me. Exemple, when i'm on Facebook on Google Chrome in full screen and I want to write something in the chat, the dock pop-up. Is there a way to disable dock when i'm in full screen mode? I'm on a MBP mid 2012 running Maverick.
Thanks you!

Alternatively you can use the same principle anywhere on the screen, you do not have to scroll to the bottom. Simply move the cursor to the screen edge where your dock is then move the cursor the same direction again. You do have to briefly pause between the two movements but you can do this anywhere the dock is located, it does not have to be at one position on the screen. That should speed things up a bit and prevents the dock from appearing by inadvertently scrolling to the side or the bottom.
If you can, get a Magic Trackpad, Lion navigation works very well with one of these, I think that the days of the mouse are numbered. The numbers of gestures available with the Magic Trackpad is extensive in Lion.

OVCD: Disabling toolbar in full screen mode

I use OVCD from my macbook pro in fullscreen mode.
Every time I hover close to the bottom to switch Solaris windows this toolbar pops out.
Is there a way to completely disable the toolbar?

Figured this one out myself. Apparently if you move your cursor to the top of the screen in full screen mode the toolbar drops down. Then there's a little lock symbol you can click to make it stay down. Basically it works like the launch bar on the desktop.
Thanks self!

(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

How do I set Firefox to start on login in full screen mode and permanently disable the tool bars?

I am trying to set up a touch screen windows 7 lenovo desktop for use by older users with no prior experiance of PC's. I would like Firefox to start on login and open in full screen mode, with all toolbars disabled. Is this possible? and if so how do I go about doing this?

If you close Firefox 4 while in full screen mode then the browser should start in full screen mode the next time. That setting is stored in localstore.rdf in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder].
If you want to prevent toolbars from opening if you hover to the top then hide the full-screen-toggler with code in userChrome.css
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

How to disable app from opening into full screen mode

Dear all I'm on OSX 10.8.4 and every time i start an app it'll go to full screen even after quiting it and opening the app again. Is there a way to stop this from happening

Full-screen mode is controlled by you. If you take it OUT of full-screen mode (go to the very top right of the screen, wait for the menubar to drop down, click the blue inward-facing arrow icon), and THEN quit the app, it will remember the preference and open in normal windowed-mode next time.

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.

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.

Firefox page stop refreshing(drawing) when the flash plugin exit full screen mode.

While watching youtube video from youtube.com in full screen mode (this is flash player full screen mode, not browser full screen mode), if you exit the full screen mode, some times the original page when the full screen was started from would stop drawing, not responding to the mouse click in the page area. The page will go back to normal if you click and drag the firefox browser title bar or just resize the browser window.
I initially found this issue with our company's browser plugin product when testing on Firefox 4. Then I went on trying the same scenario with youtube flash player, it is the same behavior.
It is not difficult to reproduce, if exiting full screen works fine, move the browser window a little bit and try it again. I can reproduce this once every 5 - 10 times. It is very annoying.
The same test case works on Safari, Google Chrome without any problem. Please fix this!

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

IPad Web App full screen mode Network Connectivity Retry Option

Hi,
I have developed a web application in HTML5 for iPad (full screen mode). Now I am testing the application on iPad for connectivity scenario i.e. to see how the app behaves when the connectivity is lost and then resumed after some time.
Steps -
Launch the web application in full screen mode from home screen (connected to a wifi network).
Click on any button to submit the form and at the same time turn off external wifi modem.
A pop-up message appears with the options to close or retry.
Now turn on the modem and click on retry.
The expectation is that on clicking retry the data in the web form should be sent to the web server, but instead of POST request, a GET request is being sent. Because of this, the data filled in the form is lost as the page is simply refreshed.
Can anyone please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks

This is more of a feature of the browser already.
With iOS6, Mobile Safari on the iPhone introduced full-screen browsing support in landscape mode.

One isn't able to take advantage of this feature in portrait mode though. However, the meta tag you're referring to in order to hide Safari UI Components requires the webapp to be added to the Homescreen; then when you launch the site through the icon on the Homescreen, you would find the UI components hidden.
Also, the latest version of Chrome for iOS released a couple of days ago includes the ability to view pages in fullscreen as well (for both landscape and portrait modes) with scrolling gestures enabling the hiding and showing of the omnibox and toolbar while navigating down a page.

Safari 6.0.1 Truncates URLs in Non Full Screen Mode

I just applied the Java removal patch that Apple released and I noticed that all URLs now get truncated to subdomain.domain.extension. For example, if I go to store.apple.com/us my URL bar only shows store.apple.com. If I go to full screen mode it shows store.apple.com/us. The trailing "/us" is gray, not black, but it shows. This is occurring with all of the sites I visit.
I created a new user and logged on with the newly created user's profile and attempted the same test. The results were exactly the same.
What can I do to see the entire URL in window mode?
Windowed mode:
Full screen mode:

I have had the new Safari for less than 1/2 hour and I'm already switching to Google Chrome. The new Safari not only grays out URLs inexplicably, but also, and this is SUPER annoying, when I click on a link on Facebook, it takes me out of FB to the link, but grays out the "back" arrow so I can't even return to where I was on FB. ***?

Impossible to view videos in full screen mode

I realise an animation in Flash thinking it will allow to produce a more powerfull presentation than Powerpoint. It includes some videos of about 1' in .fl4 format that are in a separate file. I published this animation in .swf; and in standalone projectors for Mac and PC .exe and .app. It works well in normal mode, videos are running perfectly. But in Full screen it blocks when it get to a frame with a video, showing a black screen and freezing the animation. It does exactly the same with checking, unchecking "material acceleration" both in the Flash player when running the .exe or .swf or .app file or in the exportation (publication) parameters of the .fla file. I also try to play the .swf file in Chrome or Firefow instead of Flash Player : same problem. It does also the same on the several machines (Windows and Mac) of a museum that is supposed to run the presentation. I used Plash Player 10, then 11 and 12 version : same problem.
Result : in normal mode the presentation is dirty and it is really ruining more than three weeks of hard work.
I get through hundreds of Google searches without finding any solution.
Thank for your help. Before tomorrow if possible...

Think of Full Screen Mode like a browser that let's you watch a movie. If you stop before it ends, it remembers your place and lets you take up where you left off the next time you come back.
Move your cursor down toward the bottom middle of the full screen view. You will see a cover flow view, and you can select the project you want to view.

Backup causes DVD player to exit full screen mode

Hi,
I have recently bought time capsule. Whenever a backup is finished while watching a DVD, DVD Player will exit the full screen mode. There is no error message or anything and it happens when there was no problem with time machine. Since a backup is running every hour this will interrupt every movie. This did not happen when I was using an USB hard disk before. So it may also have something to do with time capsule? (sorry for posting it here).

I don't know if they have forum or not but I couldn't find official forum by just searching around. I found this info and you may want to check your environment:
