How do I get Firefox for Android in Full Screen without the Status Bar

I am using the newest Beta for Android and would like to hide the Android Status Bar. I'm using the dynamic Address Bar, which works great. When I turn on the "Full Screen" addon the dynamic Address Bar disappears as well though, and does not reappear on a tap on the menu button. The "Full Screen" addon is annoying too as you must leave full screen every time you want to switch tabs! And marking an coping text too!

Can anyone help?

As far as i know and what i have seen there is no way to hide the Androids status bar in Firefox without an add-one.

Thanks for the reply! Does anyone know of an addin that does just that? ONLY removes the android status bar in Firefox Mobile (fennec)? It should do nothing else ofc, then the dynamic address bar would keep working.

Seems like a glaring omission in FirefoxMobile. As no one has found an addin for this I assume there is none either.

Where can this be suggested to the developers?
