Oh.  I thought it was a deficiency in HTML5 that it could not do full

This is strange because full-screen-api.enabled should not allow web
pages to resize your browser - it only allows them to enter and leave
full screen but the browser size should remain the same after leaving
full screen.

Allowing browser resizing is controlled via Preferences > Advanced >

But this is completely unrelated to full-screen-api.enabled.

Suddenly putting my window into full screen mode does resize the viewing
area.  It takes up the full screen.  I really hate that kind of thing. I
think it is my prerogative to decide what size the window should be, and
whether it should be full-screen or normal, not that of some smart-aleck
who wrote a web page.

Can you provide any URLs of pages that go full screen without user
intervention? Personally, in recent years I haven't seen such behaviour
even once - if there is a full screen option on a site it is always
under some button or icon.

Sometimes I can see web sites that try to resize windows in standard
ways but this is easily suppressed by the pref I mentioned above. But
I've never seen full-screen-api abused in this way. I'm not sure, but
maybe browsers have some protection against it, e.g. user interaction
(like a click) is required for full-screen-api to work at all?

That's why I'm curious what sites force full screen.

Is it possible that full-screen-api means full browser screen not full
computer screen??

It means it takes the whole monitor display area.
