For my browsing behaviour it is not necessary to se the tab bar on my screen. I tried to remove or to hide the tab bar even in about:config. But was not succesfull. It seems that more people do not like this tab toolbar. I would appreciate an advise

There is an extension for hiding tabs: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1337/

You want the tab bar hidden even when you have multiple tabs open?

-> invalid
there is an extension to hide the tabbar (see comment #1), and it is a dangerous option (i already see people asking "where are my tabs?!")... 
moreover how do you see tabs if you have 10 or more opened? 
You could ask to have an autohide option for the tab bar... but if you need more space you can move to full screen browsing.

it's not dupe of 261478 since that is on fullscreen only.
