I'd like a kbd shortcut that mimics the green button in Mac OSX windows.

I'm aware that I can assign a custom shortcut to this very function in OSX's System Preferences, but such a shortcut won't work in Firefox, even after restarting it. So is there a Firefox keyboard shortcut that maximizes/minimizes a window the way the green button does it for all OSX windows? I'm on OSX 10.7.5 with Firefox 23.0 just installed (MacBook Pro 17" from 2012, pre-retina.)

Hello fedtho, sorry but that kind of shortcut is not exist yet, not even as an add-on !

see the Keyboard shortcuts

see also the full screen mode, but i think you already know that (command + Shift + F) and it is not what are you looking for.


thank you

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

You understood my request - well, of course I'm disappointed... but at least I have a clear answer.

I do hope a shortcut doing what I want will be implemented in a not to distant future.
