    5 stars because this add-on is humble and told me how to "Hide Toolbars" instead of using this add-on. thank u

    Essential plugin, should be offered as an in-browser option for fullscreen behaviour.

    (I've not tested the extension) - Thanks for tell me there is a way to do this without extensions!

    How come this addon isn't more popular? I've tested all of the fullscreen extensions currently available (August 2021), and this one wins hands down.

    Why?

    It works reliably across all sites (except priviledged/protected pages) – some of the other extensions fail to work in some cases, not sure why.

    The shortcut works reliably. Again, some other extensions use a non-customizable shortcut that is bound to other commands.

    And, finally, it goes into the old-style, "complete" full screen (i.e. no title/url bars, just the main window).

    Thanks!

    Does exactly what it says on the tin - I'm now actually able to run Firefox in full screen on my Mac. I'd like it if there was the option to customize the hotkey to enter fullscreen mode, but that's small fries.

    Thanks for your rating! I have good news, it is already possible to customize the hotkey! By default this functionality is a bit hidden in Firefox, unfortunately.

    Here's the process:
    1. Navigate to about:addons
    2. Click the settings gear ⚙ at the right-top
    3. Select "Manage Extension Shortcuts"
    4. Change the shortcut for Fullscreen

    We'll try to make this more accessible & provide better documentation when we find time. Please check out this GitHub issue for full context, and a way to do the same in Chrome:

    I dislike that this is not a recommended extension. It works perfectly well and does what 10 minutes of web searching couldn't do.

    Running FF 70.0.1 on macOS Catalina, the config "browser.fullscreen.autohide" seems to have no effect if switching to OSX-fullscreen - even if set to "true" (which is the default). This Addon gives me fullscreen for the Tab I like and works like a charm. Thank you very much!

    Thanks Mark, simple and effective!

    Does not work directly from everywhere (eg. when editing a Google Document, it captures keystrokes), but it will in 99% of the internet.
