Problem with Action "Open URL in Browser" & Firefox

Hi all,

I want to open an URL in firefox using automagic actions while firefox running in full screen mode, but the URL is always opened in a corrupted way: It is positioned as it would be without full screen mode and the part where usually the tabs are is just white. It seems that the URL is opened in non-full screen mode...

I have defined an action Open URL in Browser with firefox using package/class names "org.mozilla.firefox" & "org.mozilla.firefox.App". Do I have to configure anything else to tell automagic to open the URL in full screen mode or is this a bug in the firefox app?

Do you mean the setting "fullscreen browsing" which hides the tab/toolbar?

I think it is impossible to make it permanently hidden, if that's what you mean. On my phone I couldn't actually even reproduce that. On initial page load, the tab bar is always showing but it hides itself when scrolling down. I haven't found a way to change it's behaviour with AM, but there are a few plugins which change how it works. Maybe you can find your solution from there?

it may be different on a phone, i used a android 5.0 tablet. there is no "autohide" of the task bar when scrolling. instead it is always hidden when full screen mode is activated in the settings of firefox app. i didnt use a plugin.

Ok.. I'm still on 4.4.4 so the browser versions could be slightly different.
