Fullscreen Statusbar Tooltip?

Unread post by micromause » 2016-04-11, 10:36

The issue is, when a video goes into full screen the statusbar tooltip is always showing, and to make matters worse, it's always updating while I'm trying to watch a stream...
Is there anyway to disable this? It's so annoying to see this every time... I've posted a screenshot below...

Thank you for your time and any possible feedback in advance!

Which version of Pale Moon are you using? Because this should have already been addressed with an update.

Latest? Version: 26.2.1 (x64)

Maybe it's because I've upgraded from the older versions? Using this browser for geez... about 2 years now? (where did the time go).
I also use the backup tool you so awesomely provided to ensure everything stays the way I want after a format.

Hmm well, it's always possible that some sites do something peculiar with their full-screen video.
You can disable the pop-up status by going into Options -> Status bar options... -> Advanced -> uncheck "Detect full-screen mode and show links/status/appropriately"

Well I feel like a complete idiot :wtf: ... you know I've overlooked the "Status bar options" because I always quickly went into the browser options... sigh... sorry for wasting your time but thank you for the feedback! Works like a charm! :thumbup:
