    Hi everyone! I just got a new Macbook Air first time mac user. I like the computer but already wishing I had got the 13''...anyway.

    With Firefox I realize fullscreen is not actuall fullscreen at all :(

    How can I make what's circled in pink disappear until my cursor hovers over it? I want fullscreen to be 100% dedicated to whatever website I'm using, not all this stuff blocking my view. It's worse when I have multiple tabs open because they're all viewable.

    View -> Toolbars
    And unchecking the navigation and booksmarks toolbar is very cumbersome and isn't how I see fullscreen working. Please help.

    11''mba
    Firefox 16

    Thank you!

    There are limits, but in Preferences or Options you can deselect things like Navigation Toolbar etc which will add a bit of real estate to your screen. Look in there and try things out.

    I've got all three browsers loaded and none of them give you the full screen you are looking for.
