Auto Fullscreen

Open all Firefox windows in full screen mode

Auto Fullscreen is a simple Firefox extension designed to automatically open all browser windows in fullscreen mode, including those opened after the initial launch. Unlike the original Auto Fullscreen add-on which only makes the initial window fullscreen, this fork ensures every window, even those created when opening tabs in separate windows, adopts fullscreen. This is perfect for users who prefer an immersive browsing experience across multiple windows. Additionally, users seeking to view bookmarks in fullscreen mode can follow provided guidelines (handling at your own risk). For bug reports or feature requests, contributions can be made via its GitHub issues page.
