Gain a little extra surfing room

As most of you know, the screen on the One, while bigger than the 7" on the ***pc, is still rather small. Firefox does well with plugins, thought I'd let you know about one that I enjoy and use all the time- it's called LittleFox, and it significantly shrinks the toolbar, navigation bar, etc. Look it up on Google, it should take you right to it. You do have to switch your preference to it, but it's easily reversed if you don't like the new look.

Also, if you hit the little arrow in the lower left corner, you gain an extra few lines as it takes the taskbar and rolls it to the left.

Hope that helps!

 

Doesn't F11 do an equal, or better job?

 

F11 is full-screen, but this reduces the size of the browser- I don't like surfing in F11, I lose all my tabs.

 

thats weird, I dont lose my tabs in fullscreen mode...

 

Tabs are still displayed in fullscreen mode, you just have to move the cursor to the top of the screen and the tabs+navigation buttons etc appear, but still use a lot less space than they would normally.

 

ctrl+t opens new tabs and alt+l shows the favorites. if you use this shortcuts fullscreen mode is just perfect

 

And here you can find instructions how to keep the statusbar in fullscreen mode: http://www.macles.blogspot.com/

There's also guide how to change to FF3, but the statusbar-trick works with FF2 also!

 

Another addon i use is TinyMenu.
"Replace the standard menu bar with a tiny menu popup. "
With some toolbar customisation (basically dragging the url /google /buttons on to the tinymenu toolbar and deactivating the navigation bar) you get something like :
