When I'm in fullscreen, my tab bar doesn't hide.

I had been using Firefox 4 for some time, when all of a sudden my tab bar stopped auto-hiding when I wasn't hovering over it. I tried things such as running in safe mode, going through about:config, checking the tab bar options, and updating Firefox, but to no avail. Is there an option somewhere that toggles whether or not the bar auto-hides?

go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"

Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. You can enable the Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

I tried that and it didn't fix anything. That's what confused me.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode by Holding down the SHIFT key while starting Firefox.

I see you have Greasemonkey. Do you possibly have a Greasemonkey script installed that is causing that?



You have old Java Console versions in Add-ons > Extensions that Java did not "clean-up" when updating. You can safely and easily remove them.

I tried disabling all of them and it didn't seem to fix it. I can always try again.

Your last response was to which reply above it?

Oh, the Greasemonkey one. It didn't help anything. I may just save my profile and do a clean reinstall of Firefox if it isn't fixed in an update or something.

Having the tabs visible during Full Screen Mode is not the default behavior; something else is causing that.

Have you tried Firefox Safe Mode?

  • You may need to try Firefox Safe Mode
