You can make firefox fullscreen _within the window_ by changing a flag in about:config ... full-screen-api.ignore-widgets (set to true)

then, when you press `F` on a video, you will remove all firefox 'decoration', just like fullscreen mode, but it'll respect whatever position and size you have set for the browser.



That's a truly excellent tip, I definitely need to go tweak that setting.


As an additional tip, if you want to get rid of the "You are now fullscreen" (or whatever it says) that comes across the top... you can set the following to 0

  full-screen-api.transition-duration.enter
  full-screen-api.transition-duration.leave
  full-screen-api.transition-duration.timeout
  full-screen-api.warning.delay
  full-screen-api.warning.timeout
these are all involved in the popup when you fullscreen a video


What a wonderful but bizarrely named feature flag. Thank you!
