I'm getting fed up of the address bar getting in the way, especially when I do an image search and trying to look at the image results. I shouldn't have to download an image and open it in gallery in order to see the image full screen. I can't find a full screen option in the menu and obviously I don't have an f11 button on my phone. I even went so far as to install an addon called fullscreen but it just didn't work.

Do you have an example of a site where this is happening?

Hi

If you open the Firefox for Android menu and select Settings, under General you have the option to hide the menu bar when scrolling down a page.

I hope this helps.

Hi, thank you for your answer, but this is not the issue. I have no problems with the address bar disappearing when I scroll a long web page. What I am asking for is to have a full screen toggle when I am viewing a short Web page or an image. For example if I click on an image to make it full screen. Firefox does not allow it to be truly full screen.

It's any and all sites that are short enough so that you cannot scroll. Long press on any image and select 'view image' and Firefox displays it along with the address bar. Even if the image is massive. And you cannot get rid of the address bar to view the image full screen. Try it with duckduckgo image search too.
