Mozilla Firefox - Misc

Full Screen or Kiosk Mode

SUMMARY: View web pages in Mozilla Firefox without annoying status or menu bars.

You can view webpages in Mozilla Firefox using "Full Screen" or "Kiosk" mode. This (depending on your operating system) hides all standard taskbars and the Firefox toolbar, using the full screen to view the current webpage.

Press F11 to toggle this mode on and off. Or, select "View" - "Full Screen". When in this mode, if desired, you can move the mouse to the top of the screen to display the navigation toolbar as well as the tab bar.

* If you wish to disable displaying the navigation toolbar when in full-screen mode:

1. Uncheck "View" - "Toolbars" - "Navigation Toolbar".

* If you would like to display the status bar even when in full screen mode, install the Full Screen Status Bar add-on.
