I wanted to share a setup I’ve been using to maintain a clean desktop while using Firefox in fake fullscreen mode. This setup allows Firefox to run fullscreen with auto-hiding tabs and search elements that only show when hovered over, without pushing the webpage content down.
- Install cage, can be found for most distros
- Run and test application
-d
removes desktop decorations, firefox command 'firefox -somecommand' cage 'firefox' -d
- If running correctly edit launch options in de or .desktop file
Exec=cage 'firefox' -d
then install auto-fullscreen extension
its a long work around especially when its possible to get a similar result from editing about:config but this way the tab and searchbar act as a seperate element meaning no misclicking. if anyone has cleaner solution chime in please.
Looks great!
