Firefox Fullscreen Behavior

I have two issues with the default Firefox behavior when going into and leaving fullscreen (e.g. on video playback):

  • An irritating blending animation
  • The ESC-to-leave notice I do not want to see every time

The about:config page (open this address by entering it in the address bar) allows for extended configuration that can resolve this.

The respective settings are under the full-screen-api prefix. (The Fullscreen API is a web standard for fullscreen functionality.)

Setting Value
full-screen-api.allow-trusted-requests-only true
full-screen-api.enabled true
full-screen-api.exit-on.windowOpen true
full-screen-api.exit-on.windowRaise true
full-screen-api.ignore-widgets false
full-screen-api.mouse-event-allow-left-button-only true
full-screen-api.pointer-lock.enabled true
full-screen-api.transition-duration.enter 0 0
full-screen-api.transition-duration.leave 0 0
full-screen-api.transition.timeout 1000
full-screen-api.warning.delay 0
full-screen-api.warning.timeout 0
Setting Value
full-screen-api.transition-duration.enter 0 0
full-screen-api.transition-duration.leave 0 0
full-screen-api.warning.delay 0
full-screen-api.warning.timeout 0
