Hide navbar in fullscreen mode

Hi, I wonder if it is possible to hide the navigation bar in fullscreen mode. Currently, I have all toolbars hidden by default and only display the tabbar (to the left via test pilot) and the navbar (ontop with some extensions to the right of it). When I click F11 to go into full screen mode, I would expect all bars to be hidden and then content to be displayed on the entire screen, however, only the tab bar is hidden for me when I press F11. Is there a way to achieve this?

I am on Firefox 55.0.2 on Linux, and none of the extensions I have seen are compatible with this browser, or support hiding the navbar only in fullscreen mode.

Thanks for your reply. It turns out that it is the test pilot tab center extension that causes this bug in fullscreen mode. I disabled it and use Tree Style tabs for side bar tabs instead, which works great both in normal and full screen mode!

Both the Tab bar and the Navigation Toolbar should hide automatically if this is selected. You can check this via the right-click context menu of the Tab bar (Show/Hide Toolbars).

Are you using code in userChrome.css or use an extension to hide toolbars or otherwise modify the user interface?
