Hide Firefox's toolbar in full screen Mac OS
I cannot get Firefox to go completely into full screen on Mac OS Catalina. When going full screen it will hide the Mac system menu bar at the top, but it will not hide the Firefox address bar. I've researched a bit and found some suggestions about settings in about:config pertaining to full screen access, and I've exhausted all of those suggestions. Is this a known issue on Mac with Firefox?

In Firefox 69 and later you need to set this pref to true on the about:config page to enable userChrome.css and userContent.css in the chrome folder.
- toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets = true

Thank You! That did the trick, plus opened the door to a whole bunch of style customization that I can do to Firefox!
This method doesn't work in my Firefox 79.0 (my system is Mac OS 10.15.6) I have set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets value to true ,created the userChrome.css file in a folder named chrome and put them in profile folder. But the toolbar still not hide in fullscreen mode...

I have had this issue for as long as I can remember and tonight it bothered me enough to spend over an hour trying to fix it, only to find there is no fix!
Why on earth does Firefox have an issue to "hide toolbars" if it does absolutely nothing on Mac's?
NO this is not an issue with my profile. It's reproducible on a fresh install of macOS and Firefox.
Yes there are add-ins and CSS tricks but they are hit or miss and either don't always work, or come along with other issues.
Why is it so hard for Firefox to fix such a fundamental feature?
