- Rated 5 out of 5by CaptnBob, 5 years agoVery handy, and the updates in the past 3 months are great.
Please note, this issue is still not solved for Youtube videos. I use the "Flash-HTML5 for YouTube" player.
"You can't access the YouTube controls after putting in Windowed mode - volume controls, next button, resolution, video speed, closed captions and 'take out of full-screen' button."
In Full Screen mode, I can access all the video controls, but not when Windowed.
Is this normal?
I can return to normal view from Windowed by pressing the Esc key. - Rated 5 out of 5by Cubimon, 5 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15129509, 5 years agoThis add-on is great but it does not 're-tab' the window once you exit fullscreen mode. More importantly, it does not give the user the choice to use the normal behavior of the fullscreen button which might be preferred in certain occasions (e.g. for short videos where you don't necessarily need to spawn a new window). Adding an on-off toggle button to the add-ons bar, together with a keyboard shortcut to fire it, will improve this useful extension quite a lot!!! (3 Stars)
EDIT 31/07/2019: Extension has been modified to support some of the above changes and has new very useful features :) Re-tabbing a fullscreen window is still a bit buggy (tested so far with YouTube), otherwise very useful extension!Developer response
posted 5 years agoHey, thanks for your feedback! I've updated the extension, there is now a button in the toolbar, just as a popup to select fullscreen vs windowed whenever you click a fullscreen button. Hope you like the changes, and let me know if something is still different from what you'd like :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Captain Bob, 6 years ago(Original review) Works nicely the first time, but Youtube doesn't re-"window" once minimised. You have to use a new tab to use the full-screen option, which means you lose your place in the video. If this is solved, it would warrant 5 stars
Review after update. Excellent update. 5 stars.
Excellent with the full screen within the current browser, real full screen and separate Windowed mode.
Two questions/observations:.
1. when a YouTube video is opened in a separate window using the Windowed button, how does one put the new window back into the main browser group, i.e. make it unwindowed again? I can't get to the comments or details of the video again after putting the video in Windowed mode.
2. You can't access the YouTube controls after putting in Windowed mode - volume controls, next button, resolution, video speed, closed captions and 'take out of full-screen' button.Developer response
posted 5 years agoThis is solved in the new version I just released! Let me know how it goes :) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14422914, 6 years agoAllows you to make videos full screen just inside the browser window. Perfect.

- Rated 4 out of 5by ModProg, 6 years agoIt would be really nice to have a keybind or floating button to exit the fullscreen mode.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Tangerine, 6 years agoWorks fine with You tube and the such content... but not for RAW

# FEATURE REQUEST
Could you add an alert that ask if I want to use fullscreen or windowed?
Otherwise I always have to toggle the extension on and off, and reload page.
