It would be nice if this could be implemented into Firefox v9/v10.
I think this could be only a small change.

Still not available with:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:10.0a1) Gecko/20111002 Firefox/10.0a1
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:10.0a1) Gecko/20111002 Firefox/10.0a1

Thanks

Beyond not showing the bookmark/menu bar, when you right-click a spot on the navigation/tab bars to get the fullscreen context menu (with only "Hide toolbars" and "Exit fullscreen mode"), clicking the "Hide toolbars" menu item doesn't seem to do anything (aside from un/checking the item in the menu). Does that only affect custom toolbars, or should it be toggling the tab/navigation/bookmark bars?

seems like there are workarounds ( example : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1212156 ) but they don't look trivial and I think the bookmarks toolbar should simply appear like the other toolbars when moving the mouse to the top in fullscreen mode.

Not working in the present version as it does in Edge. Hit F11 (full screen mode). Place cursor at the top of the screen to get command and other bars. But you don't get bookmark bar although it is displayed on when you hit F11 to get off full screen. This is the problem in Firefox but not ex in Edge.

The auto-hide feature would also help to prevent burn in.
