Mac Tales

Firefox for OS X does not ship with an f11 full screen mode, like Windows or Linux. Here I’ll show you how you can easily add the fullscreen plugin for firefox OS X.

As mentioned previously, the firefox web browser was the first thing I installed on my new macbook.

There are a couple of fullscreen plug-ins available for Firefox, but I’ve found by far the best is Fullerscreen by Daniel Glazman.

Fullerscreen is easy to install, simply go over to Fullerscreen at Mozilla Add-ons, and hit the install button.

Once installed, the plug-in adds a little icon to the bottom right hand corner of the statusbar. Clicking on this icon engages full screen mode….

I note that the author states that this plug-in does not work on mac, my testing has found that the shortcut key’s (f11) don’t work, but the status bar button works a treat!.

I reckon it’s way better than the default f11 Windoze version, 5 stars, Highly recommended!

Tip: To exit fullscreen mode, click on the same icon. if the statusbar isn’t displayed, click anywhere on the menu to bring it back.
