How do I hide the address bar when fullscreening "popup" windows?

Sky TV's video player has a bad fullscreen implementation - you can make the player go true fullscreen but it reverts when it loses focus, so I can't multitask on my two monitors.
The best workaround I've found is to use their "pop-out" player, which opens a new "popup"-style window (locked address bar, no search bar etc.) and I can then fullscreen the window itself (rather than the player). This allows me to hide
- the window outline
- the window title bar
- the Windows start menu
and it stays fullscreened when it loses focus.
However, this does not hide the window address bar. On a normal Firefox fullscreened window this slides out of view after a short time; on the locked "popup" style window it does not.
On the offchance that treating "popup" windows differently is a deliberate Firefox security policy... can I disable it?

You only need to select the pop-up window after having opened the Browser Console or open the console before opening the pop-up to make that window the MostRecentWindow.

  • How do i hide the tool bar when watching videos?

    when expanding a video to full screen, the tool bar does not "hide" and infact, blocks the progression of the video. in order to fast forward, i have to minimize the video to do so.
    help?

    What application are you using to watch the videos, and what version of Mac OS X are you running?

  • I hid the address bar with a right click option, and cannot seem to get it back, how can I do this?

    I was watching some TV on the WB, and their player doesn't have a 'pop out' option, so I opened it in a new window, and hid the address bar with a right click-> hide option or something along those lines, and now I can't seem to get it back with the same methods, nor can I find a way to access properties or anything. All I can see are the tabs I have open and the bookmark bar.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    There are different solutions depending on kind of the problem.
    Keyboard:Alt+V,T,N
    Navigation toolbar, including address bar, should appear
    Then
    Keyboard:Alt+V,T,M
    Menu bar, including File, Edit, View, should appear
    Right-click the bookmark bar
    Click Customize... in the context menu.
    In the Customize Toolbar window which appears find the address bar (It will be shorter) amongst the buttons here.
    Drag the address bar by mouse onto the main window, where you want it to be.

  • I want the cursor to be in the address bar when creating a new window; it works for new tabs and in a new private window, but not in safe mode.

    I have tried following the advice offered in the few different threads I have found on this but nothing fixes it. I want the cursor to be in the address bar when I open a new window and/or when firefox opens without restoring a previous session. I fixed the issue for new tabs via about:config but this doesn't work for new windows. I tried safe mode and the problem persists. In new private windows the cursor is in the address bar.

    The search box in about:home steals the cursor. Changing your home page to something else will cause the cursor to start in the address bar for new windows.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • How can I hide the scroll bar in TextArea?

    How can I hide the scroll bar in TextArea?

    Hi. To remove the horizontal scrollbar you can do this:
    textArea.setWrapText(true);
    To remove the vertical scrollbar you can do this:
    ScrollBar scrollBarv = (ScrollBar)ta.lookup(".scroll-bar:vertical");
    scrollBarv.setDisable(true);  and set the opacity to 0 in the css file:
    //css file
    .text-area .scroll-bar:vertical:disabled {
        -fx-opacity: 0;
    }Here is an example:
    import javafx.application.Application;
    import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
    import javafx.event.EventHandler;
    import javafx.scene.Node;
    import javafx.scene.Scene;
    import javafx.scene.control.Button;
    import javafx.scene.control.ContextMenu;
    import javafx.scene.control.MenuItem;
    import javafx.scene.control.ScrollBar;
    import javafx.scene.control.TextArea;
    import javafx.scene.input.ContextMenuEvent;
    import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
    import javafx.stage.Stage;
    public class TextAreaSample extends Application {
        @Override
        public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        final TextArea textArea = new TextArea();
            textArea.setWrapText(true);
            StackPane root = new StackPane();
            root.getChildren().add(textArea);
            Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
            primaryStage.setScene(scene);
            primaryStage.show();
            scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("style.css").toExternalForm());
            ScrollBar scrollBarv = (ScrollBar)textArea.lookup(".scroll-bar:vertical");
            scrollBarv.setDisable(true);
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            launch(args);

  • How to put the focus on the address bar, when opening a new tab in Safari?

    Dear users, I'm using Safari 6.0.3 (8536.28.10) under OSX 10.8.3. Until recently, whenever I opened a new tab in Safari, the focus was always on the address bar, which was quite useful. However, since last week, maybe after an update (I don't know exactly), the focus of a new tab is always on the page, not the address bar. How can I go back to the previous configuration? I changed no options, it simply got sudeenly different, and it's quite annoying. Thank you for the help.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.

  • How do you change the address bar into showing the key symbol, when it only shows the lock symbol?

    I want to save my user data to my google mail account.
    The first time I typed them in, the password dialogue box appeard, but I clicked on something else so it disappeard and since then never showed again on the google mail paige. (It works perfectly normal on other paiges)
    The mozilla support site said to click on the key symbol in the adress bar, but there is no key symbol only a lock symbol. On other websites both are shown but not on the google mail website.
    What do I do to open the password dialogue box again? Is there another way than to click on the key symbol?
    I use mozilla firefox 20.0 on windows 7.

    When you go to a website and enter a username and password that haven't been saved, Firefox will ask if you want them remembered. This question appears in an arrow panel connected to the key icon on the address bar.
    If you click on other things, or switch tabs, then the question will disappear. But as long as you remain on the same web page, the key icon will remain visible so you can bring it up again manually.

  • I want to Remove RSS icon from the address bar when I click on My SMF Forum

    I have a SMF forum when I click on the login page I see an RSS icon in the right of the address bar next to a star.
    The forum opens in an RSS to subscribe, which is stupid as it is not an RSS feed, it is a forum. I want to get rid of this and do not know how to do it.

    This is a feature of firefox, although it may have been removed from firefox 4beta ( at least in default set up, no idea why). The appearance of the RSS icon within the location bar is intended to inform that RSS feeds are available from the site in use. You may note that this firefox forum we are using has such an icon displaying in the location bar, that is because feeds are available allowing you to track the threads, no doubt something similar happens with the SMF forum you mention.
    If it is possible to remove the RSS icon from the location bar it will certainly not be straightforward, other than by upgrading to 4beta, and that is available now, and may be run whilst the stable version firefox 3.6 is still installed on your computer. (iirc there is an add-on available to add the rss icon to Fx4)
    If a post answers your enquiry, you may wish to use the button alongside it to mark it as solved.

  • How can i hide the menu bar at the bottom of the app in itunes

    how can I hid the bar at the bottom of the App screen in itunes. Where it shows how much audio, app etc space you have left on your device

    Unforrtunately the status bar doesn't make any difference, however I have worked out that the bar does show when I go into full screen. 
    I would have thought it should also work when not in full screen - it certianly used to.
