Get Firefox’s menu bar out of your way

By Percy Cabello

Firefox’s menu bar is obviously necessary, but you don’t need it on sight all the time.

disable menu is a Firefox extension, developed by insecure, that automatically hides the menu bar after a number of seconds you specify. To show the menu bar again when you need it, press Ctrl + M, add a dedicated button to the toolbar or select the option from the page context menu.

Pretty handy except for one caveat: when you have the menu bar back it will autohide even if you are still browsing the menus which gets very annoying if you have set a low autohide timeout (2 seconds in my test).

If you are fond on the throbber, don’t forget to move it to the navigation bar.

For another approach to menu bar hiding check the Personal Menu extension.

To reclaim some extra screen estate, det disable menu at Mozilla Add-ons

I downloaded mozilla firefox but when I activate it, it has some of the items from my Yahoo menu bar, like home, refresh, but I lost the item “mails”. To open my mail, I have to go to yahoo.com then I can click on the mail- this is time consuming.

How do I get back “mails”, and “answers” in the firefox menu bar?
