Firefox won't stay in full screen mode

Whenever I navigate away from a page or switch tabs in full screen mode, firefox goes out of it. I find this particularly annoying and I don't remember having this problem in earlier versions. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
edit: Just discovered it was an issue with the extension "ImageTweak"

Hi,
Which method did you use to get Internet Explorer to open as full mode?
I have no dual monitor to do a test. however, you could try the kiosk mode, unless you remove the "-k" parameter, it won't toggle out of kiosk mode.
The detailed steps is below:
1. Right click the shortcut you used to open the Internet Explorer.
2. Select its properties, in the Shortcut tab, click
Target text box, move your cursor to the very end of the text in it.
3. Type " -k" at the end without quotation marks. You must precede the hyphen with a space as below.
4. Click Apply and OK to finish it.
Note: Through this method, you must close the entire browser using a keyboard shortcut, such as "Alt-F4" or "Ctrl-W."

  • How to stay in full screen mode when the movie is end

    for some commercial reason, I need quicktime to stay in full screen mode when a movie playing is end.How can I config it? Thanks a lot.

    You can place what i called a sprite in the video.
    http://homepage.mac.com/qt4web/sprites/items.html
    Scroll down the web page a little bit and you'll find it. You place the stop sprite a few seconds before the end of the video.
    Right click on or control+click on stopsprite.mov in the above web page to open the sprite in the Quicktime player.
    Click on the sprite movie, 'select all' from the menu. Click on the video you want to stop. Go to about 5 second (more would better) before the end of the video. Hit the key i on the keyboard. Go to the end of the video and hit the key o (Oh). Go back up to Quicktime's menu--->Edit--->Add To Selection & Scale--->Save As and rename the video. Done....
    If for some reason the video doesn't stop add more time....10 seconds before the end of the video.

  • Firefox 14.0.1 Won't Start in Full Screen Mode

    Firefox 14.0.1 for Mac doesn't appear to retain the full screen mode setting on shut down. It starts in "non-full screen" mode on start.
    I've tried safe mode startup, set to full and shut down, but it still doesn't keep the setting.
    Help appreciated

    This appears to be a bug in the new Mac full screen feature - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758249
    So there doesn't appear to be a way to fix this at the moment other than waiting for this to get fixed in a future release.

  • 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?

  • DVD Player won't open in Full Screen Mode

    I'm trying to run an unattended DVD during our opening hours and have everything set up to run automatically except for this.
    I've checked all the appropriate boxes in the DVD player preferences (Open in Full Screen mode, start DVD upon player opening, etc.), but still no joy. Even if it's in full screen mode when it shuts down it will open in minimized format.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    And you set it in System Preferences>CDS & DVDs, change "When you insert a video DVD:" to Run Script..., then choose that script you just saved?
    Yes.
    Does it work then when you insert a DVD?
    I will if I insert the DVD, but the way I have it set the computer shuts down at the end of the day and the DVD stays in the tray. When the computer starts up the next day (automatically through the Energy Saver schedule) it will begin to play, but always in the reduced size.
    Is there a way to create a script that has the DVD eject when it shuts down?

  • Firefox is only usable in full screen mode?

    Firefox is only usable in the full screen mode. If in standard mode (I guess that would be what it's called), the scroll bar is unusable, and scrolling down the page with the arrow keys causes Firefox to black out the website. But ONLY in standard mode.
    In both viewing modes, the "right-click" menu exhibits the same symptoms when the mouse travels over the options. While the mouse is hovering over the menu, these options remain black, until such time as the mouse no longer is "directly over" the menu. They become visible again, and this process is repeated once the mouse begins to travel over the menu.
    This only happened because of the installation of Firefox 4.

    You can check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • 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.

  • Dock won't hide in full screen mode

    When editing pictures in full screen mode, the dock does not disappear. I don't think it's always been this way -- I could swear that it used to disappear, which is what I want it to do. With the way it is now, i have to manually hide the dock in order to get to the bottom picture editing toolbar.
    Perhaps the issue is unrelated to iPhoto, because whenever I change a dock setting by right-clicking in the space bewteen the left and right parts of the dock, I have to choose the option twice before the setting sticks.
    Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Alan
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Seems like a Dock issue rather than an iPhoto one. Does it also happen with other full-screen apps: for instance, with iTunes Visualiser in Full Screen mode?
    What might be worth trying is to trash the com.apple.dock.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to log out and back in. This will reset the dock to the out-of-the-box settings. You'll need to make your settings again.

  • How to stay in full screen mode?

    Every time i play a movie in full screen mode it goes back to normal size when it finishes.
    How can i keep the last frame in full screen mode?

    You can't as far as I know.

  • My firefox browser window will not stay in full screen mode, it keeps reducing itself so I can't use the scroll down button on the side, so I have to constantly minimize and maximize to get to the scroll bar, How can I stop this?

    Like I said it happens every few minutes... It is annoying when you are on the internet for more than a few minutes because you constantly have to either minimize it or reduce the screen manually by hitting the button and then maximize it again to get the scroll bar to be in view to use it.

    Delete the localstore.rdf file at the following location:
    C:\Users\'''USERNAME'''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\'''PROFILE NAME'''
    I did this and it fixed it for several days, but it broke again eventually.

  • IPhoto 11: How to view "all photos" while in full screen mode

    In iPhoto, when it's not in full screen mode, if you click photos in the sidebar (under Library), you get a nice view of ALL your photos, and you have the option to sort them by event. When you go from this view straight to full screen mode, it stays this way, which in my case is particularly useful since I like to move photos around from event to event. However, staying in full screen mode, as soon as I click an any other of the menus at the bottom (events, faces, places, albums, projects), I cannot find anyway to get back to the "all photos" view, other than to take it OUT of full screen mode, click on "Photos" in the side bar, and then go back to full screen mode. Either I am missing something that is glaringly obvious, or this is a rather annoying oversight by Apple. It seems like it would be natural to have "Photos" be one of the options along with Events, Faces, Places, Albums and Projects in full screen mode. Right now the only work around I've been able to come up with (aside from going back and forth with fullscreen mode), and to hit "command F" while in full screen mode, and then type "i", which will give me what I am want only because all my photos start with "i". Not a very elegant work around, I know, but perhaps I am missing something very obvious.
    Thanks for any advice!
    James

    In case my description isn't clear, here is a screenshot of exactly the view in full screen mode I am talking about  that I can't seem to return to once I leave it, other than to go back to non full screen mode or use the search trick.

  • Getting out of full screen mode in Messages

    I'm using mountain lion and I'm stuck in full screen mode in Messages. How can I get out of that?
    thanks for any suggestions.

    hi,
    So if you move the mouse to the top of the Screen you do not see this (top right) ?
    This was a pic of Firefox that I put in Full Screen Mode first.
    Then I moved the pointer to the top of the Screen and the Menu Bar appears.
    Far Right is the blue reverse action/Windowing icon.
    In Firefox I can also enter the View Menu and select the Exit option (from Full Screen) from there once the Menu bar has appeared.
    It is late where I am and it will be a while before I reply again.
    It is also why I don't have Messages open at the moment.

  • CS6 Full Screen Mode Feature Needed.

    Hello Community,
    I bought the CS6 Master Collection about a year ago and was surprised that I was unable to put Photoshop, FlashBuilder or any other CS6 application in full screen mode like my other Mac applications do.  The only thing I can do is resize the application window and hide the dock. 
    Is there going to be an update to show support for CS6 users and allow us to use these programs in full screen mode?  I think it would be fantastic if that happened.  Then I could use hand gestures on my track pad or mouse to switch between applications that I have currently running all while staying in full screen mode within each one. 
    I'm thankful for Retina screen support but a larger canvas is ideal for creative development in my opinion.  I work on the 15" Retina MacBookPro primarily because I'm so dang mobile in my work/lifestyle and I value every square inch of the screen. 
    Adobe Please Give Us (CS6 users) Full Screen Mode.
    BTW: I still consider my self a new user as I'm still learning how to use these applications.  If by some small chance there is already a way to do this please respond and tell me how.  Thanks.
    ~ Troy.

    CS6 is feature complete and will not see any new features.

  • Every time i try to enlarge a video to a full screen mode, my Macbook reboots! This started to happen after i upgraded my firefox to 4.0.1. ! This is really annoying.

    I have a Mac-book, i always use Firefox and never Safari nor anything else! I had it on for a long time, never done any sever crashes! but just a few days ago, Firefox asked for an upgrade which I've done. Now every time I try to run an online video "through the Firefox page" on a full screen mode, my mac reboots! Just when i click full screen :@
    It never happened before.
    I shall mention that this fault happens from time to time! and most videos run slow most of the time.
    I am very sure that it's not my laptop!

  • All that comes up when I open Firefox are my toolbars and a place to enter a URL, but there is no window. I have to enter full screen mode to view websites.

    Something happened with Firefox where all that comes up when I open Firefox are my toolbars and a place to enter a URL, but there is no window. I have to enter full screen mode to view websites. How do I get back to a regular browsing window? I have no idea how this even happened.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
