Tab bar does not appear during fullscreen mode (when it is located under nav-bar)

Hello,

after update to FF57, I puted my tab-bar back bellow navigation bar (where it should be :) ) according to a vast solution dealing with userChrome.css modification.

However, it leads to weird behaviour of tab-bar (and nav-bar, tool-bar, etc.) during fullscreen mode (F11). When I launch FF, first time (going into FS mode) those bars will no hide automatically. After a few times and tab switching, they hide (as they should) but then they do not show up again (when hover over by mouse). However, it is still possible to open them by right-click (it is still possible to seeup there like a pixel narrow bar of those tabs).

This does not occure when I run FF without userChrome.css file (modified for tab below nav-bar). I think it might be something wrong in that file, cos when I remove "-border-top-width: 0 !important;" part it dissapear at first time (without appearing again).

Please help me find solution for this.

userChrome.css: /* Tab bar below Navigation & Bookmarks Toolbars */

  1. nav-bar { /* main toolbar */
   -moz-box-ordinal-group: 1 !important;

-border-top-width: 0 !important; }

  1. PersonalToolbar { /* bookmarks toolbar */
 -moz-box-ordinal-group: 2 !important;

}

  1. TabsToolbar { /* tab bar */
 -moz-box-ordinal-group: 3 !important;

}

/* To create space for the standard window buttons, either

  (1) Show the title bar
  (2) On Windows, show the menu bar
  (3) Enable the following rule by removing the comment tags */

/*

  1. navigator-toolbox {
 padding-top: 20px !important;

}

  • /

/* If there is an undesirable color behind the tab bar, either

  (1) Install a theme to fill in the background from
      https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/themes/
  (2) Enable the following rule by removing the comment tags,
      then edit to the desired color */

  1. TabsToolbar {
 background-color: #f8f8f8 !important;

Did somemore testing and this code works for me with setting --tab-toolbar-navbar-overlap to 0px.
:root {
  --tab-toolbar-navbar-overlap: 0px !important;
  --tab-min-height: 25px !important;
}
#TabsToolbar {height:var(--tab-min-height)!important;

/* tabs on bottom */
#navigator-toolbox toolbar:not(#nav-bar):not(#toolbar-menubar) {-moz-box-ordinal-group:10}
#TabsToolbar {-moz-box-ordinal-group:1000!important}

Yes, this works also in my case. Thank you very much for your time and effort.

I can confirm this on Linux with the tabs on bottom.

What works for me is to move the mouse pointer either to the top left or top right corner of the screen to trigger the full screen toggler. I don't know if this works on Windows as well.

No, unfortunatelly not. On top of the screen I can see only that 1pix high remnant of tabs-bar or panel bar (shown in screenshot, when cursor is in right up corner - close button).

You're welcome and thanks for confirming that it works on Windows as well.

Actually this helped me fix the Tab bar height as well that previously didn't work very well, so I added that as a bonus.
