Use true full-screen browsing mode in Firefox 3.6
Feb 11, '10 07:30:00AM • Contributed by: Anonymous
Just a quick note to mention that Firefox version 3.6 brings Firefox's 'Full Screen' feature for the Mac for the first time -- try it out by selecting View » Full Screen. Once enabled, it actually goes into true full screen mode just like its Windows counterpart: the menu bar disappears, the toolbar and URL entry area vanish, as does the Dock. Cool!

Use true full-screen browsing mode in Firefox 3.6
I've been running the beta of 3.6 on my netbook hackintosh just for this reason. Another awesome thing about 3.6 is they finally are supporting multiple monitors and window positioning correctly. I've always used my second monitor (sans dock) for Firefox, but 3.5 and earlier would start up leaving a gap at the bottom of the screen where the Dock would be. FF would also tend to restart in the original location, even if I shut it down from a different monitor. Now, 3.6 properly handles both monitors, remembers where to open, etc. It's a great improvement for us multi-monitor Mac users. Another trick: if you add the full-screen toolbar button beside the address bar (right-click on the toolbar and choose Customize), you can toggle between full-screen and normal with a single button. All of the buttons on the address toolbar are accessible in full-screen mode (just mouse to the top).

On my Snow Leopard MBP, a thin strip (3 pixels?) remains at the top of the screen. Mousing over it pops down the toolbar, at the extreme right of which is a button (not normally present) with 2 arrows pointing diagonally inward to each other. Clicking that button undoes the full screen mode.

Now if the printing crash was fixed in 3.6 it would be a very useful browser.

Slightly off-topic but I've used MegaZoomer from http://ianhenderson.org/megazoomer.html to zoom *all* Mac windows to full screen (no Menu Bar, no Dock etc).
