Review summary

Fullscreen Plus aims to improve the full-screen experience by removing toolbars and distractions, which many users find beneficial especially for reducing migraines. However, it requires manual configuration, specifically setting 'full-screen-api.allow-trusted-requests-only' to false in about:config, which is not clearly communicated and causes confusion. Its performance varies across platforms and websites, with keyboard shortcuts sometimes failing. Despite being effective when configured properly, the add-on seems abandoned with no recent updates, leading to compatibility issues on newer systems.

Pros

Effectively removes toolbar pop-ups during full-screen mode, reducing distractions and discomfort like migraines.
Provides a better full-screen experience than Firefox's default behavior.
Works on macOS and various versions when correctly configured.
Circumvents some of Mozilla's default full-screen handling limitations.
Users appreciate the improvement in usability once setup is correct.

Cons

Requires manual change in 'about:config' setting 'full-screen-api.allow-trusted-requests-only' to false for it to work, which may be non-intuitive for many users.
Does not work out of the box; many users are unaware of or unwilling to apply required configuration changes.
Inconsistent behavior: works on some sites but may fail or act unexpectedly on others (e.g., YouTube Music).
On some systems, keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+Shift+F do not work as expected or at all.
Apparent abandonment by the developer, resulting in lack of updates and support. Potential incompatibility with newer Firefox versions or macOS releases.

2026-05-09	Fi*****	As others have mentioned, you must go to about:config and search for 'full-screen-api.allow-trusted-requests-only' and double click to change it to false. I needed to restart Firefox afterwards, but once I did the plugin started working as advertised. Very happy with this plugin, I now no longer have migraines when working in full-screen from the constant toolbar pop-ups!
