How To Customize The Firefox Layout
We have shown you recently how to make better use of Firefox's fullscreen mode with the minimode extension which allowed you to select the toolbars that should stay on the screen during fullscreen mode. Minimode still had to be activated with a keyboard shortcut which can become a nuisance if you have to switch between fullscreen and normal mode regularly during browsing sessions.
This article therefore details how to customize Firefox in normal mode to save some screen estate for the web contents which is especially useful for users with small computer screens.
We start with a quick Firefox interface tour. The Firefox web browser by default displays six bars plus the actual website. Those are from top to bottom the title bar, menu bar, address bar, bookmarks bar, tabs and the status bar.
