If you’re like most Firefox users, you probably don’t know how to show or hide the menu bar in the browser. But don’t worry, there’s a way to do it without any fuss! First, open Firefox and click on the Firefox menu button (the three lines in the top left corner of the browser). Then select “Options.” In the “Options” window, click on “Menu Bar.” Now, you’ll see a new tab called “Menu Bar.” This tab will show all of your current Firefox options. To hide the menu bar, just select one of these options and press OK.
Before
Here is our browser with the “Menu Bar” showing full-time. Nice, but what if we could have a “built-in” on/off switch for the “Menu Bar”?
After
Installing the extension is quick and easy…and there are no options for you to worry with. As soon as you restart Firefox the “Menu Bar” is already hidden as shown below (nice!).
So what do you do when you need that occasional access to the “Menu Bar”? Just hit the left or right “Alt Key”…it acts just like a toggle switch. The “Menu Bar’ will also auto-hide whenever you click inside the webpage or outside of the browser itself. Sweet and simple!
Conclusion
The Hide Menubar extension lets you enjoy having the Menu Bar there when you need but keeps it out of your way when you do not. Enjoy!
