FF 19.0 keeps switching to full-screen mode

This is most annoying! I'll be happily working away when suddenly all my toolbars disappear. At first I had no idea what was going on, and would have to close and reopen FF to get them back, then I discovered that the browser was just switching arbitrarily into full screen mode. I've looked to see if maybe there is something in an inconvenient place that I'm accidentally clicking on to cause this, but no. It just happens for no reason. Is there a fix for this?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Full-Screen Mode: Cannot switch to full-screen mode

hi. i tried to run the DisplayModeTest.java file in the Full-Screen Mode Tutorial, and i got this exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Could not get display mode
 at sun.awt.Win32GraphicsDevice.getCurrentDisplayMode(Native Method)
 at sun.awt.Win32GraphicsDevice.getDisplayMode(Win32GraphicsDevice.java:330)
 at DisplayModeTest.<init>(DisplayModeTest.java:117)
 at DisplayModeTest.main(DisplayModeTest:237)and for all other programs that try to switch to full-screen mode i get similar ones (although isFullScreenSupported() returns true). any ideas why this error is thrown and how to fix this?
i use a j2se 1.4.1_03 on a win2k machine (single-monitor, single-processor, etc... nothing fancy).
thanks,
__blackwolf__

the solution was to use WinXP :) more seriously, i got an email from a Java developer yesterday and he told me that there is a bug they have to fix, and for now it won't work if you dont have DirectX (>= 8.1 ?), full-hardware acceleration (for the video card) and who knows, maybe some other requirements. try running the program with
java -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true <class>this makes Java avoid using DDraw -- should make the program slower, but runnable...
i have another problem though: cannot run it on a RedHat Linux 9. apparently, isFullScreenSupported() returns false, but this is bullshit, because i have other (non-Java) programs that use exclusive full-screen mode (mplayer, for example). anyone knows how to make it work? thanks.

The color of the web site looks wrong when switched to full screen mode.

I was in a game website.
When I switched to full screen mode, the black text changed into blue text.

Flex GUIs get a bad performance in normal screen mode when switched from full screen mode

Hi, there :
I encountered an odd situation and it is only happens on IE. Our project is a Flash 3D Game using Stage3D, and the Game's GUIs are created by CS6. When our game switch from the full screen( StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE or StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN ) to normal screen ( StageDisplayState.NORMAL ), the performance of the Game GUIs decline to approximate a half FPS of full screen mode. But this condition is only happens on IE.
The Game is normal screen when it is initialized and the performance is as same as fullscreen. The performance degradation only happens after switching to normal screen mode from full screen mode.
p.s. : When the mouse is out of the view, the performance become better, from 20 fps up to 50 fps. But is still not as same as the original 60 fps.
p.s. 2 : My colleague told me the Flash Pro CS6 be used to built a single swc file per GUI, and then package all ui swc files to one swc file by Flex Framework SDK( the command is "compc" ). and the IE version = 9.0.8112.16421, the Flash Player Version = 11.6.602.155.
p.s. 3 : I have utilized Adobe Profiler Scout to observe the application, and I found that when it switches to normal screen mode from full screen mode, the time 「Waiting for GPU」 in 「Inactive」 grows up from 10ms to approximate 30ms which is triple. And in the 「Activity Sequence 」tab, it shows that the 「Waiting for GPU」 happens in the 「Copying to screen 」in 「DisplayObject List」.
Thanks

This does sound like a specific bug with IE. It would be great if you could file a bug report here (https://bugbase.adobe.com/), so we can get somebody to look into it.
btw, Flex is really not a good framework for games - it's really slow and heavyweight. If you're just wanting some lightweight UI elements, you might want to check out the Feathers framework, which is built on top of Starling: http://feathersui.com/

Firefox 12 keeps starting in full-screen mode.

Ever since upgrading to Firefox 12, it wants to start up in full screen mode. I dopn't mean the extreme full screen mode where even the menu bar is hidden. I mean the more "typical" full screen mode where it just gets as large as possible but has the same content. I tried forcing a new profile (by renaming. ~/.mozilla/firefox) and that fixed it. But then as soon as I brought back the bookmarks toolbar and exited, it was back to starting in full screen mode again. I wish there was something in preferences for this. I NEVER want it to start in full screen mode. This is Ubuntu 11.10.

Thanks for your reply.
It does not maximize (I think that's the term I should have used) when starting in safe mode. But I think the reason is that it has a smaller window when it starts in safe mode. If I increase the size of the window beyond a certain point, then when I exit and restart FF, it auto-maximizes. If I delete localstore.rdf, again it comes up not auto-maximized. But again, if I make the window a little bigger, exit and restart, then it does come up auto-maximized. And if I make it smaller before exiting, it will come up properly. I really believe this is a Ubuntu/Unity problem. Unity has a very irritating tendency to maximize windows all on its own. When I upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04, I'm hoping there will be an easy way to tell it not to do this.

How to keep content centered in full screen mode

I've searched all over Google and in here but am surprised to
find nobody else with the same problem!
How do you keep all of the items centered inside a Div when
switching to full screen mode in IE? Everything in my "#global" Div
shifts upwards creating a big mess and doesn't stay where it should
in my content box (which is part of the background. There's no
problems when resizing the window by dragging, just when using full
screen mode. Here is my body and #global code:
body {
background-image: url(images/background2.jpg);
background-color:#ECE5C8;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position: 50% 50%;
margin-top: 4%;
margin-bottom:4%;
#global {
margin:auto;
position:relative;
width: 784px;
height:554px;

> background-position: 50% 50%;
> margin-top: 4%;
> margin-bottom:4%;
Why use a percentage margin?
Can we see the rest of the page?

Is there a way to get the bookmarks toolbar to display when switching to full screen on a Mac?

When switching to full screen mode in Firefox 9 the bookmarks toolbar goes away. I can't find any view setting to keep it displayed. Is there a way?

Maybe use the Bookmarks sidebar instead (Command+B).
You can also add code to userChrome.css below the default @namespace line to display the Bookmarks Toolbar when you hover to the top of the window to unhide the toolbars and tab bar. 
I don't know if that works on a Mac.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#PersonalToolbar[moz-collapsed="true"] { visibility:visible!important; }
</nowiki></pre>

Typing in search box causes screen to switch to full screen, with no buttons (versions 34.0.5 and 35.0)

When I start to enter a search term into the search field on the top right of the screen the window will switch to full screen mode and all the buttons disappear. If I move the cursor to the top of the screen the resize button appears and I can switch it back. This happens several times a day, but not every time I use the search box. It happens if I have the window maximised or resized to fill less than the monitor screen.
This is hugely annoying. It started happening when I upgraded to version 34.0.5 and is still happening in 35.0.
You have made some changes to the search function as it now automatically gives me an annoying drop down box to choose a search provider. Is this change the cause of this problem?
I am running Windows 7 (64 bit)
Please tell me how to prevent this, it is driving me crazy.
Thanks
Miranda

Sounds that you switch full screen mode on.
If you run Firefox in full screen mode then press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle (Mac: Command+Shift+F).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.

Not able to get the minimize maximized and close button and its running with full screen mode.

I'm also running Ubuntu. Not sure how you got there, but you can try a Control-Q to quit. Then restart it and hope in comes back normal.

How do i get firefox to not be in full screen mode without a mouse or keyboard?

for some reason Firefox switched to full screen mode and i can't get out of it. I'm using Firefox on a tablet PC running windows 8.1 so using F11 or a mouse is not an option. at least i assume it's full screen mode. i can't see my bookmarks bar, my address bar, or even the windows task menu at the bottom of the screen, where my virtual keyboard is located at. i can get to the settings menu (i have Firefox set to start on a new page) but i can't find bookmark bar, address bar, or full screen settings there. I tried using IE11 to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it but it kept the setting. A "turn off full screen mode" button in the settings would be super helpful or a "force show address bar" button.

By the way, if Firefox is ''stuck'' in full screen mode, I think you could clear that by removing the settings file which stores window dimensions. Here's how:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
''If none of those is available: Use the Run command (or maybe the charms bar search box), type or paste the following and tap Run/Search or Enter on the virtual keyboard:''
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
''Then double-tap into your most recently updated semi-randomly-named profile folder.''
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
''If neither of those is available, try using one of the standard Windows ways of exiting a program.''
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old.
Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?

How to show controller in full screen mode

During DVD playing, switching to full screen mode the controller disappears and we can use only the bar at bottom with the essential commands. No possibility to use the rallenty, for instance, which is available opening the drawer of the main controller. The function can be activated through the key board but is not so direct. Does some body know if it is possible to have the complete controller visiblealso in full screen mode?
Thanks

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.

Access browser in full screen mode?

how do you access browser to brows photos when in full screen mode? i can see the film strip at the bottom but how do you go in browser mode to see all photos on screen while full screen? full screen was kind of wird to use at first so i avoided using it for a few months, but now i kind of figured out where everything is, except of this.

I am not sure, if I understand your question: Are you asking, how to get access to all items in your library for browsing while in full screen mode, or are you asking how to browse many images at once, while in full screen mode.
To access all library items in Full Screen Mode, display the inspector and use the Library tab of the Inspector panel.
To have a full screen Browser, switch to full screen mode while in Browser view.
For example, using the Inspector in Full Screen mode: (klick the button to launch the Inspector HUD).
And after switching to full screen mode, while in the Browser:
-- Léonie

Expoting Versions in Full-Screen Mode

I have been using Aperture 3 and I'm becoming very pleased with the work flow and it seems to get better every day. It still seems odd though that every time I "Export Version" it goes out of Full-Screen Mode. I don't see any way to change that, but because I export every file after conversion, it really adds up extra clicks. If someone knows of a trick to keep it in full-screen mode, please let me know. Thanks.

If you ever find out how, please post the solution here.

Lightroom bugs: full screen mode and import

I'm considering buying Lightroom, it's quite impressive for a v1.0. But there are some troubling bugs I've run into on my 2nd or 3rd day of use.
Platform: Vista Ultimate, Lightroom 1.0, P4 2.8ghz, 1.5 GB mem + 2 GB ReadyBoost.
- Full screen mode is broken? I switched into full screen mode, and then back into normal mode. But now when I minimize the app and alt tab or click back into it, it's back in full screen mode. So I put it back into normal mode, but it goes back to full screen the next time I return to it. Very annoying. It's not just when I minimize it. If I change window focus *at all*, it sets itself to full screen mode.
- Import from camera doesn't work. When I attached my Canon 20d and selected Import from 20d, it said "Could not find files" or something. I had to import through Canon EOS Viewer.
Both of these features are a pretty basic part of workflow, so I'm surprised they're broken.

There are know issues with Vista which isn't supported yet. Also import has some issues to be resolved.
The read me has some of this noted.
