Firefox Full Screen layout when not full screen?


Recommended Posts

He wants it to look like when it's fullscreen, only without it being fullscreen.

migo, have you tried TinyMenu? helps you get rid of the menus, while keeping them accessible.

TinyMenu's cool. I finally twigged how the customize menu worked (didn't realise it was simple drag and drop, thought I had to right click then drag).

Is there any way to get everything onto the title bar?

If you have a decent horizontal resolution, you can perhaps do something like me (no extensions needed, just a simple configuration... attaching screenshot).

TinyMenu looks interesting though, but I'm not sure I'd like the extra clicks to some things at this point. :)

Edit: Huh... Neowin uploads suddenly broken for me... OK, here's an ImageShack link:

TinyMenu would slim further at the cost of one more menu click to get to where you want.

I don't have that many toolbar links... This layout get kinda crowded if you do... You can see the few I have and use in icon form to the right of the address bar.

I've got 1024x768 max.

It'd be nice if stop/refresh could be combined somehow too. The real winner would be getting everything onto the title bar - it's unnecessary with tabs.

Add this to userChrome.css:

#stop-button[disabled="true"], 
#stop-button:not([disabled]) + #reload-button  {
  display: none;
}

Make sure that your stop button is placed immediately before the reload button.

you could get the Autohide extension (1.1.5). That's what I use. It auto-hides the menu and makes it reappear when you move your mouse to the top of the screen. Its pretty customizable. I like it.

I found a way to do it!

Get the Fullerscreen extension and the Custom Geometry one. Configure them. Then press F11 to go into fullscreen mode, and move the mouse to the bottom, so the Custom Geometry icon appears. Click on it, and your FF window will be resized to whatever you set in the CG extension. And if you right-click the taskbar button and select to move the window, you can move it. :)

I know, kinda complicated, but it does what you wanted :p

Here's how mine is set up -

Even at 1024 x 768 it's not too crowded. I'm using Tiny Menu for the, er, tiny menu and UI Tweaker to combine Stop/Reload, amongst other things. I tried that userChrome hack, but it didn't work for me. Strange, because I'm sure it used to work.

That's how I used to have it too, until I found a much better extension than Tiny Menu: Personal Menu

This is how I have mine set up:

Basically the same, but the most used commands, I can have outside the submenus :) It also offers a popup menu for the bookmarks.
