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

ITunes mini player on top of a full screen Safari page

When you make a full screen Safari page, is there any way to put the iTunes mini player go on top of this page? I did this once by accident, but now whenever I try to open iTunes while in full screen Safari, the iTunes mini player opens to the main desktop page.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm listening to an audio podcast that's reffering to images on his sight. When you go full screen it shows the images best, but you lose the ability (space bar) to pause/play the podcast audio. It would be nice to be able to view and study the images a bit longer, but not having to keep futsing around with everything.
Is there a way to get the Mini player in the same Space as Safari?

Full screen Safari slides open whenever I close another application

Hey all,
Probably a simple fix, but I always have Safari in full screen mode (mac laptop), and when I am working on the desktop and close a finder window or another application, my display automatically slides over to the full screen Safari window I have open. Any help on how to prevent this?
Cheers.

1. Empty Caches
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
2. Delete Cookies
    Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:
    Click the “Details” button.
    Remove all cookies except from Apple, your internet service provider and banks.
3. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn off Extensions if any and launch Safari again to test.
    Turn on those one by one and test.

Disable full screen

How can I disable full screen permanently?
I am aware of the option click but that's not really good enough when you run a dual head setup.

You don't unfortunately.
As an alternate to the Option-click the green button for zooming a window, you can also just double-click any app window's title bar for the same effect, if you don't have the minimise option checked in System Preferences > Dock

IPad IOS 8.1 full screen safari web app display issue

My company produces a web app that is intended to be used from the iPad's Full Screen Home Screen launch.
we are using the tags:
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" >
Since taking the updates to IOS 8, 8.1, & 8.2, when the app is launched in full screen mode from the home screen, the iPad's top line including the text "iPad", its signal strength, VPN status, current time, battery life, and blue-tooth indicators are superimposed on the top line of every page - making it difficult to read that top line of data coming from our app.
Additionally, there appears to now be a blank white band that shows up on the footer of the web app. Both of these new additions to the full screen appearance is yielding a somewhat less professional appearance.
Is there some sort of tag or other setting that we can use to hide these new areas that are appearing?

This is a better illustration. I'm thinking that the white band at the bottom of the screen should be at the top of the screen (like the iphone does) and the web content should be shifted down that amount of space.
the white band is hard to see with this white background however, but its obvious on the ipad in full screen mode... so go to the link on your device, save it to the home screen and relaunch...

Firefox for Mac: accidentally disabled full screen Flash video for Yahoo. How to reenable??

I was looking at a video on screen.yahoo.com, and that annoying "Now entering full screen... allow/don't allow" (paraphrasing) dialog came up at the top. I must have inadvertently selected the option to disable, because now when I click the fullscreen icon at the lower right part of the video, nothing happens at all. No full screen, no annoying dialog. Nothing.
As per other posts on this forum from people who have had this problem, I have tried the following:
• Deleted ALL Flash Player settings in my Mac's System Preferences
• Gone to about:permissions in Firefox and set Fullscreen to ALLOW for all Yahoo URLs
• Deleted all COOKIES for domain yahoo.com
I have also quit and rebooted Firefox after having done these things. Alas, I go back to the video on screen.yahoo.com, click the fullscreen icon in the video frame, and still get nothing.
I'm stumped. This seems to be a heavy price to pay for accidentally clicking the wrong button one time. Sort of a Zero Tolerance Policy approach to video settings... Any other ideas about how I can restore this functionality??
Thanks!
DM

You can hover the image.
That should make a delete X appear.
You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
*Click the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
*Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
*Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab

Dock doesn't show in full screen Safari

I have the dock set to reveal itself when I go to the bottom of the screen. When I'm in full screen mode in Safari it takes me swiping down at least 3 or 4 times before the dock will appear. I've tried it in other apps on full screen and it still doesn't react as easily as it should but not as bad as Safari.
I'm assuming only an update from Apple will fix this. I'm posting here in hopes they read this and fix it. (Hope I'm posting in the correct area for that).
Thanks

Well you could try rebooting or
in the terminal.app relaunch the Dock, copy and paste:
killall Dock

Full screen Safari doesn't open new windows

Hi,
In my Safari preferences I have "Open pages in tabs instead of windows" set to "Never".
When Safari has at least one window that is not in full screen mode, then links from other applications seem to open new windows perfectly fine.
However, when all Safari windows that are open are in full screen mode, then links keep opening in tabs in on of those windows.
How can I make Safari to just open a new window all the time, even when I only have full screen windows open?

Hi ..
Safari doesn't recognize: mydomanin.direct as a URL. That's why it's triggering a Google search.
That's why www. works.

Merge two full-screened safari windows' bug under lion

Hi there,
After installed lion, i found an obviously bug in safari.
1. Open safari, enter full-screen mode.
2. Creat a new safari window (not a new tab), then it will moved into a other full-screen automaticlly.
3. Click in menu bar : window>merge all windows.
4. And here you go, two widows will be merged into one full-screen without the 'quit full-screen mode' buttom, and the other full-screen 'desktop' will be blank with only background. And the mission control died also XD

exactly, see~

How to disable full screen prompt

I have a folder level javascript that puts all pdfs into full screen mode. It is a super simple script; app.fs.isFullScreen=true;
My issue is that it always prompts the user, notifying them that Acrobat is trying to put the current pdf into full screen mode. I would like to disable this prompt. I want Acrobat to always go into full screen mode and never prompt the user. Can i disable this prompt in javascript? Please help

Is there a way to programmatically set this via Javascript? I have 60inch monitors that will display and loop through multiple pdfs. I want these pdfs to always show in full screen, to fill up the monitors. So is it possible to access via Javascript, these preferences and be able to 'deselect' the Alert when going into full screen for all pdfs, instead of having to do it individually? I have looked at the javascript docs; but i do not believe app.fs will provide me access to those properties.

How to disable full screen "fade" transition?

Hello,
Just got my new MBP and upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion in the process. Computer seems to work great, but Aperture now has this odd "slideshow" like fade when I toggle to my images in full screen. It's slow and distracting, more gimmicky than anything else. Does anyone know how to disable this?
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere...couldn't find a thread by searching.
Many thanks,
David

Thanks, Leonie. It's nice to know I'm not a lone voice crying out in the wilderness! I find it hard to believe that other photographers who use Aperture for professional work aren't bothered by this feature.
My problem is that yes, a direct "cut" from one image to the other--like it used to be!--is the only practical way to compare photos...
I have tried to find ways to "turn off animations" in the Mac OS, but it seems that none of the old methods that worked with Lion worked with Mountain Lion.
I will take your advice and write feedback to Apple.
Best,
David

Is there any time frame for when all apps have to be updated to be full screen on the iPhone 5?

A lot of my apps still dont open in full screen, as Im sure most of you have noticed. Is there any word as to when/if developers are forced to make this update to use the full screen? Its pretty lame that some apps are still the same size as they were on my iphone 4. Definitely takes away from one of the biggest new features of the phone.

No one can 'force' the developers to do this. It's their app, they can do as they please. As the customer, you can choose to use it or not.

Full Screen Photos on iPhone 5....

I know there are many topics about this already, but as I was watching the new commercial for the iPhone 5, I realized the pictures were full screen, what's going on here??

Full screen safari ability to bring apps into safari screen?

im new to apple OS and the fact that i run safari on fullscreen mode and then when want to say tab to limechat and it slide safari out of the picture. i want to be able to keep safari and stack whatever else i want to over top of it without going to the desktop.
any suggestion?

You need to go to upper right corner and exit the full screen mode (or escape.)
this will allow you to have more than one window (app) available to toggle between.
You can still hit the green button in upper left of Safari to have the window fill up the screen, this is different then the "Full Screen" mode.
