Manage Firefox Full Screen Display

Pressing F11 in Firefox displays the current website in full screen mode removing many of the toolbars and buttons that are not required to view a website. There is however no obvious possibility to change the appearance of the full screen view mode of Firefox.

Autohide is a Firefox extension that lets you configure the full screen display mode the way you want it to be. If you do need the status bar for instance you can add it to the full screen display mode so that it is always visible while in that mode. All installed toolbars can be hidden or displayed depending on the choices that you make in the settings of Autohide.

Other options let you see or hide the Windows taskbar when in full screen mode or disable context menu entries. Autohide is a small extension with great impact on the way the full screen mode is displayed. Very useful if you tend to use this mode regularly.

Update: Autohide is now available under a new website address.
