User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:92.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/92.0

Actual results:

Current fullscreen mode (F11) will autohide the UI (the tab bar and the address bar) and show them again whenever the mouse hovers the top of the screen. However the current behaviour is that everytime it will result in shrinking the web page and enlarging it again, like dragging down the web page and dragging up it.

Not only I don't like it, but I also believe this is resource consuming.

Expected results:

It would be nice to have another fullscreen mode where the UI just overlays the web page, and when the mouse hover the top of the screen, the UI shows, covering the upper area of the web page instead of shrinking it; and when the mouse leaves the UI area, the UI just disappears, and no re-enlarge happens.

And it would be nice there would be a new section called "Fullscreen mode behaviour" in Firefox Settings, and let me have a choice of such mode.

Feel free to disable it then. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1290553
