Opening URL in background causes full screen to exit

That's the issue.
While in full screen, loading an URL in a background tab causes Firefox to exit full screen.
I'm wondering if anyone is aware of an add-on that may cause this.
It only occurs in my default profile which has a lot of add-ons. I've tried disabling a few that seem like they could be the obvious culprit, but so far, no luck.

If you are using java client then you can use some java code to call the url and make a get request. Based on the result, you can proceed.
You can use apache commons HttpClient to make http request to URL. OR
URL url = new URL(your url);
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
String line; while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
//your business logic
}

  • No cursor in address bar after opening a new tab on full screen mode

    Hello all!
    When opening a new tab in full screen mode, I noticed that the cursor dissappears from the address bar. Since I cannot write the address without clicking the bar, I think this is a very annoying issue...
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    Thank you.

    Try resetting Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

  • My f11 key will not open my page up to full screen view. How can I fix this

    The f11 key will not open up to full screen view.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Open new Finder windows in full screen mode by default

    I'd like for new finder windows to open full-screen by default.
    I have found that, if I have no finder windows open, opening a new finder window always defaults to a non-full-screen window.
    Is there a way to fix this?

  • Opening an SD card in full screen?

    Does anyone know if it's possible to open an SD card with photos on it in a full screen?  Everytime I insert a SD card and double click on the card icon it opens in a small screen and I have to pull it to make it a full screen.  I'm sure anyone taking photos on an SD card goes though this.  Just wondering if there is a solution.  I called Applecare today and even though the guy was helpful he couldn't find a solution.

    I'm sure anyone taking photos on an SD card goes though this.
    I never use the SD card for anything but to take pictures and transfer them to my Mac. An SD card is a filing system or container. If you want to initially look at your pictures before importing them into iPhoto or any other application, simply double dlick on an image (not the card - the image) which should then open in Preview which will give you a larger display of the pic. You can also set your preferences in Preview preferences:

  • Opening a .mov file in full screen and loop

    We have a .mov file that we need to automatically play full screen and loop in quicktime when the cumputer starts up. I can get the file to open, that was easy, but I can see know way to set quicktime to open in full screen or to set the file to loop. Any suggestions?
    thanks

    Any help to increase the resolution quality of my DV file will be EXTREMELY HELPFUL.
    For faster editing iMovie 08 & 09 uses single-field processing. This means every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses all of the image, I think you will find it looks better.
    iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 is a terrific combination.

  • Feature Request- Save in Background in Full Screen

    I work in full screen with Menu Bars 98% of the time.  I also enjoy the new save in background feature.
    The problem is that when in full screen I can't tell when it's saving and the status of the save.  This is particularly frustrating when I'm trying to close a file.  I think there needs to be an option to have it save in background but pop up a status window, or some way to see the status of the save while in full screen.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  However it still doesn't show the bar with the save status when I have the floating window on a second screen and photoshop in another.  The bottom status bar is attached to the document not the main photoshop window.  So no matter where you have photoshop, if you make a document full screen it hides that bottom bar.
    I don't think of this as having my cake and eating it too either.  Full screen mode with menu bars doesn't exist to minimize distractions (though some may use it for that), but rather to maximize screen real estate.  I'm using it so I can pan and flick my images from spot to spot while I retouch.   Since they already give us the option to have full screen with menu bars, then I just think it would be nice to have the bottom status bar show as well while in full scren mode.  I've always wished I could still see that in full screen to manage efficency while working on large files, but it's never been a bother.  Now that it is also where the save status is showing, I just think it would be great to be able to see it in full screen with menu bars mode.  And if not, then still be able to have the Save dialog status window pop up while having background save enabled.
    ** i totally forgot about turning on timing and efficency in the Info panel . That would be a perfect place for them to put the saving status since they already have the other options there.

  • Adding a page to Reading List causes full screen "bug"

    When I attempt to add a page to the Reading List in Safari 5.1.1 running in full screen, it appears to "bug out."  The window slides to the Finder and causes the dock and menu bar to slide on top of the still full screen Safari window.  When I pull up Mission Control, the Safari desktop is sitting empty with the Safari window on the desktop.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

    This is still an issue in Safari 5.1.2.  Is anyone else experiencing this?

  • When ever i open a wab page in full screen it goes back to small size....

    when i want to view a page in full screen, it last about 3 seconds then goes back to original size. this is when i am playing a zynga based game. this never happened before i updated to new browser. it still works good on safari, but i like firefox. hope you can guide me in a direction to resolve this.

    If you need to adjust the font size on websites then look at:

  • Adobe X - How to default to open with navigation bar and full screen?

    Hi,
    I had been using Adobe 9.  But then a few weeks ago it ran into a "search" bug in which the word being searched wouldn't highlight on the page.  So...I switched to Adobe X.
    Here is my problem.  When I open a PDF file now, it defaults to having this "Navigation Pane" open on the left (paper clip, binoculars, etc).  For every document I use I have to "close" this pain (right click, select close), which then triggers this little tool on the bottom of the document to open up, which I then have to click the "Show Adobe Reader Toolbar" button to get the toolbar I need at the top of the screen.  Then I need to click "fit to window length and enable scrolling."
    This seems like a LOT of steps to get to where I used to be.
    Any thoughts or help?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jason

    Hi Jenn,
    I appreciate your reply, and I understand the steps you suggest.  I followed them.  It should work....but it doesn't.  Maybe this is another bug?
    If anyone has any other thoughts, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • How do you change the black background in full screen edit?

    I want to change the background colour in fullscreen edit from black to white. Can this be done?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    No. The general theory is that the pics are easier to edit against black.
