For all of Firefox's features, it's funny that some things many people would think are fundamental have been completely ignored.

Tiling window managers such as dwm, wmii, and ratpoison run applications fullscreen by default. This doesn't include hiding the menubar/statusbar in Firefox, but that can be accomplished with firefox preferences. I've been using dwm for a while and really like it. The most recent release added the ability to hide its statusbar, so now it can be 100% unseen...no borders, no buttons, nothing but the applications running on top of it.

Dillo is a little easier to start at the size of your desktop, but again there is a problem with making it immobile unless you are using a window manager that doesn't float windows.

Well, I have tried the Fullerscreen extension.. it can't register due to a chrome error.. So I searched on this error and found 2 options.. install as root or touch the chrome.manifest file. I tried both, but no luck.

If you don't want to upgrade to GTK2, there's a GTK1 version of Firefox 2 (rebranded Bon Echo) in the UCI section of MyDSL.
