I’m using Firefox on an Android tablet in PC mode, paired with a keyboard and mouse. To enhance the desktop experience, I’ve switched the tab view from grid to list. However, I can’t enable full-screen mode for the entire app, something I can do on Firefox Desktop. On YouTube, videos automatically switch to full screen when I enter full-screen mode, but this feature seems missing for the browser itself. Maybe the full-screen option isn’t available in the settings.

Firefox for Android doesn’t currently support true, browser-wide full-screen mode like Firefox Desktop does. Even on tablets with keyboard and mouse, the mobile version can only enter full screen for media elements (like YouTube videos), not for the entire UI. The address bar and toolbars can auto-hide while scrolling, but there’s no setting or hidden flag to force a permanent full-screen app mode. If you need a full desktop-style experience, your only options are using Firefox Desktop via Linux/DeX/ChromeOS, or switching to a mobile browser that offers a true fullscreen app mode.
