Is there any add on or any way to make firefox for windows work like the android version..

I have a windows 8.1 tablet and wish I could get FF working like a tablet on it.

For example, put FF in fullscreen mode and then having the address bar and toolbars at the top of the screen, and as I scroll down the page they disappear as they would on a tablet or phone.

This would make an great user expirence on windows tablets I think.

Also adding exit fullscreen to the right click context menu would be great.

In fact I just noticed that this support site's navigation behaves very much like how I wish FF would.

If nothing else could this be something that is passed on to developers as a future feature?

When you are in Full Screen mode, hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. You can right-click the toolbar area to open the toolbar context menu with Hide Toolbars and Exit Full Screen Mode.

You can use one of these to leave Full Screen mode:

  • press the F11 key
  • click the Maximize button at the right end of the Tab bar
  • click the Full Screen button in the 3-bar Menu button drop-down list
  • right-click empty space on a toolbar and click "Exit Full Screen Mode"

Thank you for your reply, but

I am using a Windows TABLET PC there is NO Keyboard and NO Mouse.

I have no way to bring up the navigation bar or other menus.

I can't do any of the suggested ways of exiting full screen mode on a windows tablet. 

   press the F11 key
   click the Maximize button at the right end of the Tab bar
   click the Full Screen button in the 3-bar Menu button drop-down list
   right-click empty space on a toolbar and click "Exit Full Screen Mode"


I guess I need to find a user forum somewhere that developers might look at. Would be great if FF had functionality to make it work well on Windows Tablet PCs.
