Description  

The :fullscreen CSS pseudo-class applies to any element that's currently being displayed in full-screen mode. It selects not only to the top level element, but to the whole stack of elements that appears.

The W3C proposal uses the single word :fullscreen, that is without a dash, but both the Webkit and Gecko experimental implementations use a prefixed variant with two words linked by a dash: :-webkit-full-screen and :-moz-full-screen, respectively. Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer use the standard syntax: :fullscreen and :-ms-fullscreen, respectively.

[1] Both the Webkit and Gecko prefixed versions have a dash between full and screen, but the W3C proposal uses one single word: :fullscreen, :-webkit-full-screen, :-moz-full-screen.

[2] Gecko 47.0 (Firefox 47.0 / Thunderbird 47.0 / SeaMonkey 2.44) implements the unprefixed pseudo-class behind the preference full-screen-api.unprefix.enabled, defaulting to false.

[3] Internet Explorer uses the prefix -ms but does not have a dash between full and screen: :-ms-fullscreen.
