When in full screen mode on netflix or hulu firefox goes out of full screem by itself

I stream movies and tv shows using the websites Netflix.com and Hulu.com, when I have it in full screen mode, firefox automaticly and without reason exits full screen mode. I dont have any screen saver on or anything like it, it just goes back to the smaller view. i was hoping someone had an answer for this problem.

''full screen mode on Netflix or Hulu, Firefox drops out of full screem by itself:''
'''Try this'''

# Click with movie to pause movie
# Right-click within the movie,
# Choose '''pop out'''
# Make the window as large as possible by moving the borders, just in case it drops full screen
# Click on full screen on the symbol lower right corner
That appears to be what I had success with, I'm not connected to external monitor.
# If movie is not playing click to start
# Click on Full screen symbol

  • How to exit full screen mode mail message

    Inexplicably, when i open messages in Mail, they appear in something like full screen mode.   The message viewer window is not in full screen mode, but if i open any message, the message takes up the whole screen. I can drag the message in order to see other things on the desktop, but i can't adjust the size of the window to the size i want, and see no way of exiting full screen mode. I lookd in Help, but it only shows how to enter Full Screen, not how to exit it. 
    In the View menu, there is an option to enter full screen.  When i have the full screen sized message open on top, the enter full screen option in the View menu is greyed out.  If i have the normal sized window for the message viewer window on top, the enter full screen is not grayed out and could be selected.  I do not select it since there appears to be no 'exit full screen' option that i can see and i don't want to multiply this problem.
    I know this might be a silly question, but if they have an enter full screen option, why wouldn't they also have an exit full screen option? 
    Or is there an exit full screen option which exists somewhere that i have not been able to find?  I've searched Apple Discussions and Google but so far have not found a way to un-full screen my Mail messages.  This started this morning.
    Can anyone help?  
    I do not know how it got into full screen mode.  It was not something i did deliberately or knowingly.
    i have tried quitting and restarting Mail but the full screen message mode returns. 
    How can i get my mail messages out of this very annoying and awkward screen hogging mode?
    I have only been using Mail since last November when i got a new MBP with Mountain Lion, which meant that for the first time since 1995, i could not use the simple straightforward faultless Eudroa anymore.  So i have had my struggles with Mail.  Trying to get through it.  This is the most recent of various similar issues, inexplicable problems without apparent solutions.  Sort of Microsoft-like.
    I will be really grateful for any help.. thanks

    Press Control + Command + F on your keyboard to enter or exit full screen mode.

  • Full Screen mode and Spaces

    Full Screen mode in iTunes does not remain persistent when used with Spaces. If you place iTunes in a space and enable Full Screen viewing, then navigate to another space and back, iTunes will default back to GUI mode. This behavior should be changed so that if you navigate away from iTunes while in Full Screen mode it should remain the way you left it.

  • Full Screen mode - file Name

    Hi
    Is there a way to display the file nane in Full Screen Mode.. This would speed things up for me.. we take 2 or 3 shot
    of every kid.. We rename all the files. So going back and for trying to pick the best one and delete the others. We are making the switch to Mac and we are used to ACDSee on the PC..
    Joe in Peoria AZ

    Is there a way to display the file nane in Full Screen Mode..
    Yes Bridge displays file names in full screen mode but strangely enough not
    when having opened the files with hitting spacebar the first go. You have to
    rate one and after this all the files will appear bottom left including the
    star rating.
    I'm kind of used to this but glad you remind us again, to my opinion it
    should be there in the first place, viewing full screen is not the same use
    as viewing a slide show.
    Again strangely in slideshow you have the option to set caption in some
    rudimental form but for full screen preview I'm not aware of such an option.
    But as said, the workaround is to select files in Bridge, hit space and use
    the shortcut cmd+. (dot) to increase the rating with one star.
    Now all the filenames and ratings / labels do show permanently for this
    visit to full screen.
    Decreasing rating is also easily done with cmd+, (comma). Hitting this
    decrease option first to none rated files sets them to reject, again hit
    cmd+. And the rating turns back from reject to zero.
    It is a very easy and useful way of selecting and rating, all the keys you
    need are close to each other

  • Open Captivate in full screen mode

    Hello all-
    I am trying to have my captivate course open in full screen mode versus having the browser toolbars appear. The Full screen button doesn't work because I am publishing this course as AICC complaint in order for it to go into an LMS. (plateau)
    Has anyone dealt with this situation before?
    I am using captivate 4 for this course.
    Thank you!

    Hi there
    The only way to display things in that manner from inside the browser is to use JavaScript to open the window. When you open the window using JavaScript, you have the ability to define many of the window characteristics, such as toolbars and all that.
    Likely this will require engaging in a conversation with the support area of whomever supports the LMS you are using in order to figure out what you need to change to make this happen when the LMS serves the Captivate content.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Version 7.2.0 full screen mode does not appear in external display

    I just upgraded to Version 7.2.0. The new full screen mode is fabulous. But, when the video starts, it moves the QuickTime window from my giant, external monitor to my laptop monitor. Is there some way to view video in full screen mode on my external monitor?
    Cheers,
    Greg
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Here's a solution I thought should work for QuickTime(not pro):
    When you plug in an external monitor and choose to extend your desktop there is an extra tab in the "Display Settings" window for "arrangement". So, obviously on this page you can arrange your screens and decide which side you want your external monitor to extend your desktop on. Also, you can hold and drag the menu bar giving you the option of putting the menu bar on your external screen. So, one would think that the display that has the menu bar on it should be used as your default display. So, you would also think that QuickTime Player, when put into full screen mode, would use your "default" display to go into full screen. This seems logical, and possibly even desired behavior from a computer.
    However, this is not the case. When I gave this a try no matter where you put your menu bar the QuickTime Player will always open its full screen mode in your MacBook Pro's display. What I propose is some how (though I'm unsure of how to do this) contact apple with a feature request that would allow you to explicitly set a default display and to have all applications use that display for when it goes into full screen.

  • Issue with Aperture full screen mode on HD 5870

    I have a very strange problem with Aperture, which may be linked to the HD 5870 and it's probably faulty drivers and would be very grateful if somebody with the same hardware could try this out if he/she can replicate this behavior:
    I have a brand new 6-core with the 5870 optional card using a dual display setup (ACD 23" and NEC PA241W).
    Whenever I enter full screen mode and activate the brushes, the image on the full screen monitor is reduced in size to about 70% of the full screen resolution. This also gets triggered, when I use the HUD display ("H" key) and lock the floating window on the browser display.
    It's a bit hard to describe, but anybody with the same or similar setup, please try this:
    - enter full screen mode in Aperture by hitting "F"
    - press "H" and lock the window using the small slider in the upper right corner
    - activate any of the quick brushes, like dodge or burn
    Is your image, which is displayed full screen on the main monitor, getting smaller in size or is it starting to flicker a bit, getting darker? If yes, we have a universal bug here.
    I could narrow the problem down in a sense, that it does not matter if either screen is hooked up using the DVI or the Mini-Display-Port. It also happens when I switch the main screen over to the other, so it's (fortunately) not a problem of my new NEC display, the ACD shows the same behavior.
    My best guess right now is some kind of bug in Aperture combined with a faulty driver of the HD 5870.
    Any help here is greatly appreciated.

    People have said that Aperture library benefits from, and should not be, on the boot drive, and placing on SSD or alternate drive, maybe RAID 0 in some cases.
    64-bit kernel mode helps overcome some of the limitations and obstacles when working with large data sets, which is why I always kept data off the system and placed on RAID 0 which does improve system responsiveness.
    If you have already done that and taken steps to optimize your storage layout hard to imagine it is a graphic driver.
    And I would limit removing caches to just Aperture's own, though can't hurt to clean out the system's, that is something that SuperDuper will do if you use it, as it doesn't copy those and just skips caches and temp files best rebuilt (but does not touch user caches).
    And a touch of Disk Warrior just for good preventative maintenance measure of course.

  • Adobe Flashplayer is smaller in Full Screen Mode

    I have Flashplayer 10,1,53,64 installed. When I play a clip , say from BBC news, it's OK in normal mode but goes to a mostly black screen with small screen in the centre when I try to view it in Full Screen Mode
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I installed Ver 10

    The fix is to change your screen resolution.
    I had the same problem and changed my screen resolution to:
    1280 - 768
    And fullscreen worked fine.
    a word of warning though using windows 7 64 bit. Don't update the Adobe player, and if you have unistall it and get adobe player 9. (the previous version).

  • Remote desktop full screen mode not going full screen

    Hi,
    Running Windows 7 RTM x64 on both my PC at home and my workstation at work.
    My PC at home has a square monitor and my work PC has a widescreen monitor.
    I used webapps (citrix) from home to get into work environment then remoted to my workstation.
    Since doing that, when I am physically at the workstation (at work), I can no longer remote desktop to servers in full screen mode.  Instead, it does a smaller window with "full screen settings".  Basically the full screen remote desktop is about 3/4 size of the monitor, not 100%.
    Any help appreciated.
    -thanks

    I  have this problem too ... On Windows 7. 
    Dell XPS14 laptop ... No Pause Key ... No Break Key... (ctrl +alt + fn + F12) doesn't work.
    The thing that bugs me most is ..... What's
    changed and WHY?
    I've been using remote desktop for years and maximizing always used to send it to full screen.
    Now suddenly I can't go to full screen without exiting and resetting the screen size with the slide bar in the options!
    WHY
    Seems this has been broken in Windows 7. It still works fine as it used to on my old M65 running Vista.
    Why has
    this been broken in Windows 7? How come no one at MS noticed?
    The marked answer is not acceptable. Sure it works when you initially open the connection but if
    you minimize or restore the window the problem comes back as before.
    Hi, I'm on a Dell Inspiron N5010 and for me, the winning combination was Ctrl-Alt-Fn-F6. Toggles full screen and windowed screen.

  • I pressed something, and it made the browser go into a "full screen" mode, how do I change it back? And also, something happened and made my FireFox text on all internet pages smaller, is there any way I could change this setting?

    I had pressed a button on my keyboard which made my text and pictures and the whole page smaller in size, can I change that? And how could I change my browser out of "Full Screen" mode?

    You can press F10 to toggle (View) Full Screen mode.
    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

  • Video playback controls in full-screen mode???

    I just downloaded a TV show and want to watch it full screen. Unfortunately, in full-screen mode I can't seem to figure out how to control the playback (e.g. Rewind a few seconds to hear something I missed).
    I tried all sorts of keyboard shortcuts to no avail. Am I missing something?

    Ba,
    It may be of interest to know that streaming video codecs are designed for computers of a specific age (CPU and GPU speeds).
    DVD quality streams MPEG-2 compression at about 10 Mbits/sec, and the older MPEG-1 compression, designed for NTSC television, streams at about 2 Mbits/sec. At 10 Mbits/sec, the processor must work faster to decompress & display the image. The latest compressions are based on MPEG-4. Even a G3 iBook could display MPEG-4 full screen; so I don't think you need a faster GPU.
    Microsoft codecs & containers, the last time I checked, were ancient: based upon MPEG-2. So, check your speed:
    DSL Reports speed tests
    http://www.dslreports.com/stest
    If you use Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.11n is fastest.
    Increase the cache size for your codec, if you can. It needs to be contiguous, so I dare to recommend iDefrag 2 (US$30) to clean your remaining disk space and obtain about 20 GB of contiguous space. Video display uses many operating system files, which are likely not fragmented; but you can also de-fragment the Windows codec if it lies in over 100 fragments. (The Spotlight database usually has over 1000 fragments; but pauses in it don't affect one's pleasure in using it.)
    My low-resolution DVD is interpolated by my graphics card, and look beautiful at maximal resolution. Streaming graphics apparently isn't programmed to interpolate low resolution: it demands high resolution and high bandwidth.
    If you can't increase the cache in WMP, you can lower the resolution of your monitor. That may be why this System Preference was designed to sit on the desktop's top bar.

  • IPhoto:  I clicked Enter Full Screen by mistake, now I can't get out of it. The button in View to exit full screen does not work.  I cannot see any other way to exit full screen.  In full screen, I cannot see my events, nor can I do any quick fixes.

    I accidentally got into Full Screen mode in iPhoto, and can't figure out how to get out of it.  The last item in View is unresponsive (Exit full Screen).  I've looked online but can't find any way to get out of iPhoto full screen--no arrows show on top right or bottom right.  I cannot find 'events' or crop photos, the only option I have is to scroll through a certain number of photos that I don't want to see.  Please, I just want to get out of Full screen mode.  Please help.  Thanks.

    Give this a try:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try full screen again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

  • I have recently upgraded to Firefox 5.0. I am now unable to use full screen mode when watching you tube. i've never had this problem before.

    i can't think of anything else to add. i've always been able to use full screen mode in firefox, it still works on vimeo and it still works on NEtflix..

    What happens when you try to use full screen mode -- button is ineffective, video doesn't display, etc.?
    By the way, Adobe has issued a couple of security updates recently, so you might want to update your Flash plugin.

  • How can i print an Excel file when in the full screen mode (no print options on toolbar or right clk

    using Vista, sometimes after creating and saving an excel file, the document is not visible when the file is reopened.
    selecting full screen mode makes the document visible, but the toolbars disappear and the print option does not show up on a right click.  How can i print the document and see the document in some other mode than full screen?

    In order to print, you can click the CTRL+P keys to launch the print dialog,
    Regarding the missing toolbar, try clicking the ALT key to shouw the software menu, then look around under the view option for any available toolbar settings,
    If you cannot find it, i would recommend you to try the Microsoft support forums, as they have some more knowledge with their software features

  • When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

    Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar).  Choose "General".  Click "Always close windows when quitting an application".
    That should fix it.
