As you can see in the screenshot, there's this black spacing between tabs area and top of the browser. How do I remove it so that the tabs are right at the top, and I get to see entire sites without compromise in screen space? This is in latest version of Ubuntu. Thanks.

Did you check the title bar a setting on the customize page?

You can find the "Title Bar" checkbox in the customization window to toggle the titlebar off/on.

  • browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar = true

I'm not sure if Firefox 63 is supporting CSD (Client Side Decorations) properly on Ubuntu.

Try the Firefox version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution.
