I'm probably late to the game, but if you have firefox 3 - check out the full screen mode

Am I not the only one with this? I usually don't bring it up and stick with Opera or IE7 anyway, but FF3 crashes like crazy on me. Whatever though.

It crashes constantly. I've actually moved back to IE7 now until they get it fixed.

Alright, that's reassuring. I uninstalled a bunch of fresh new extensions I had put on with the new FF3 install, thinking one was the culprit, but the problem remained. I'll just stick with Opera at home and IE7 at work until things settle down.

Meh...don't like it too much. But it did make me realize that my monitor has a very annoying streak right about where the bar is in my old fullscreen mode. I thought burned images only happened on CRTs? Damnit!

Plus I like using that little bar under the browser to see where links will take me.

Has anyone come across an issue where you lose internet access with FF3 but not ie6?
FF3 was recently installed on a workstation for development purposes, but since that installation, FF3 cannot access the net, but ie6 is still able to. I'm perplexed at this point. It's been reinstalled twice, and still no go.

Firefox 2 also has fullscreen mode when you press F11, and I think FF1 may have as well. FF2 keeps the address bar and tabs though.

I may be wrong here....but I don't think that the revelation was the F11 key. I believe it was that everything including other open tabs are basically "auto-hide".
You are not wrong. (tried to think of clever interplay with your screen name but kept getting confused...)

I've basically had this feature for a long time. Three years ago I took some black construction paper and cut it out in a big hollow square shape and taped it onto my monitor to cover up the windows taskbar and the menus, etc. of my browser. It's really awesome, because then all you see is the content part of the browser window, so it looks like it's taking up the whole "screen." Arts & crafts ftw
