I don't see the bookmark bar at all in full screen. It does work on Mac. see screenshots

Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 Installed on ‎15-‎Apr-‎22 OS build 22598.200 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22598.200.0

Screenshot shows Mac in full screen with bookmark bar showing. I can't get the windows screenshot to upload.

Looks like a bug to me, I also have the same issue in Linux with no bookmark bar in full screen mode.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how macs work. In the screenshot you posted I see some macOS interface, which makes me wonder whether your browser was really in fullscreen mode when the screenshot was taken.

However, I don't think I am experiencing any bug. As far as I know, fullscreen mode (which is the one I activate with F11) completely hides all of the browser interface. Unless I move my mouse on the top of the screen: then some of the interface appears, but not the bookmarks bar. All of this is fine with me. Screenshots for reference. The screenshots cover the whole screen (my start bar disappears unless I bring my cursor down there).

I would just like to be able to see the bookmarks bar when I open a new tab in fullscreen mode, so that I don't have to go out of fullscreen mode just to pick an option from my bookmarks bar. If there is no way to do that, then any other way to see my bookmarks bar in fullscreen mode (without having to turn it off) would be nice!

EDIT: can't upload my screenshots, for some reason. Will try again later.

In full screen mode you need to use the sidebar to see the bookmarks as the bookmarks toolbar is hidden. You can possibly have the Bookmarks Toolbar also visible in full screen mode with code in userChrome.css.

:root[inFullscreen] #PersonalToolbar {
 visibility: visible !important;
}

Ok, got it, thanks!

The shortcut ctrl+B is not terrible for accessing bookmarks, although I don't find it as convenient as the actual bookmarks bar. Since I'm not familiar with userchrome.css, is there a way to make the bookmarks bar visible only on a new (empty) tab using userchrome.css?

The browser is in full screen on the mac, I just moved the mouse up there to show that on mac it's showing the bookmark bar unlike in Windows and Linux.

For me the CSS code I posted makes the Bookmarks Toolbar work in full screen mode the same as in regular mode, so you can make it visible in the Firefox Home page (about:newtab and about:home) only in the usual way via the right-click context menu.

It is not that difficult to create userChrome.css if you have never used it.

The first step is to open the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" page and find the button to access the profile folder.

• https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-troubleshooting-information-page-fix-firefox

You can find the button to go to the profile folder under the "Application Basics" section as "Profile Folder -> Open Folder". If you click this button then you open the profile folder in the Windows File Explorer. You need to create a folder with the name chrome in this folder (name is all lowercase). In the chrome folder you need to create a plain text file with the name userChrome.css (name is case sensitive). In this userChrome.css text file you paste the text posted. On Mac you can use the TextEdit utility to create the userChrome.css file as a plain text file.

In Windows saving the file is usually the only time things get more complicated because Windows can silently add a .txt file extension and you end up with a file named userChrome.css.txt. To avoid this you need to make sure to select "All files" in the dialog to save the file in the text editor using "Save File as".

You need to close (Quit/Exit) and restart Firefox when you create or modify the userChrome.css file.

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.

• about:config => toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets = true

Ok. For now I'll stick with ctrl+B when in fullscreen, but I'll see if I can create a userchrome.css that does what I want. Thanks for the info!!!
