How to disable "...is now in Full Screen mode" and "Allow" notifications

Unread post by beemo_neptr » 2018-11-02, 11:12

Hello, I would like to disable full-screen notifications that you get when you switch a program to full-screen mode. I've tried the following:

1. Opened about:config in a new tab
2. Searched full-screen-api.approval-required and double clicked the name to change the default condition to false
3. Restarted.

However, the notifications still pop up when I choose to use a full screen mode. Any suggestions what to do to permanently turn-off these notifications?

That preference is no longer used.

To disable the notification, set full-screen-api.warning.timeout to 0

Hi Moonchild, I'm using Palemoon Version: 27.2.1 on a mac OS X Sierra, and here's a screenshot of my about:config - Image

As you can see, the full-screen-api.warning.timeout name seems to be missing. Is there another way to find or enable it? I might be doing it wrong my apologies in advance. Thank you for your reply and sorry for not mentioning my system and version from the very start.

What happens if you add that parameter to about:config? (Right click, New, Integer, set the name to "full-screen-api.warning.timeout" and the value to "0".)

Nothing will happen because Tycho does not support this pref.
