In the Desktop & Dock settings on my mac i have set `Double-Click a window's title bar` to `Fill`, and it works not only with native applications, but others as well, for example Discord, Chrome etc. I am not a macOS developer so I don't know if there are any obstacles that prevent this feature from being added, but i use it very often, and it is a bit annoying that Firefox doesn't support it.
For reference I am using an Apple Sillicon MBP with Sequoia 15.6.1, and Firefox 15.6.1.

Note: I know there is a keyboard shortcut for doing this, but I am used to double clicking the title bar when adjusting my windows across the screen.

gavro thanks for posting this!

I can confirm that the issue exists on every Mac with Mac OS 15+.

The Fill option was introduced September 2024. Unfortunately, Mozilla hasn't seemed to notice the new option and hasn't been supporting it.

I’m experiencing the same issue on macOS 26.0.1 (25A362) using Firefox 144.0.2 (aarch64).

When double-clicking the title bar, the window doesn’t maximize, even though the system setting is set to “Zoom” or “Fill.”

I’ve noticed that Firefox, along with a few other apps, doesn’t perform this action, while some third-party applications, such as the ChatGPT app, do. Therefore, I believe this isn’t a macOS limitation but rather a missing functionality in Firefox.

Please, developers, fix this for us. It’s frustrating not being able to maximize the window with a double-click, especially since this gesture improves productivity.

Thank you, @gavro, for opening this topic.
