1428811 - On Firefox for Linux the application top bar cannot be hidden.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1283299

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, enhancement)

Description

[ricky.tigg]

Attachment: Firefox_top-bar.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20180104170325

Steps to reproduce:

On Firefox for Linux, there is no option available aimed to hide the top bar located on the top of the Menu bar (attachment).


Actual results:

Linux-users' screen valuable space is then monopolised by that bar which brings no advantage in term of use or comfort but reduces enough significantly web pages display area, so that pages do not have for themselves the optimal space they deserve and would be put in good use.   

My preference is to keep the Menu bar as displayed , but because of that bar  that forces itself as displayed user has no option to use Firefox for Linux in Full Screen mode even when the use of that mode would be normally avoided on Firefox for Windows. since that inadequate bar is not present there.


Expected results:

To have the display of Firefox for Linux identical to the one developed for Firefox for Windows OS.

This seems to be more of an enhancement than an issue in my opinion. 
However, I am assigning a component to this issue in order to involve the development team and get an opinion on this.

Putting tabs in the titlebar is something that's being worked on in the dependencies of bug 1283299.
