Auto hide firefox toolbar

I was using IE6. I could set IE6 so the IE6 toolbar would auto hide, just like the windows toolbar. When I wanted it to reappear I would just point the arrow up to the top of the page, just like if I wanted the windows toolbar to reappear I would point the arrow at the bottom of the page.
Can I do this with firefox, make it auto hide? If so, how?

Just in case you are in full screen mode, try using the F11 key to switch to normal mode. (If that switches to full screen mode, use F11 to switch back.)
Normally Firefox behaves like any other Window. Although it isn't obvious whether this is caused by an add-on, or which one, you might want to try the standard diagnostic step of using Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether it is caused by a custom setting or add-on.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See Backing up your information. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
Then see whether Firefox behaves more normally.

Full screen auto-hide feature does not work with Adobe Acrobat Reader add-on 11.0.0.379 in Firefox 17.01.

"Full screen" menu item and its keyboard short cut F11 stop working with Acrobat Reader. The Firefox top edge border does not hide once you have moved around in the Acrobat document. Therefore it is not possible to display PDF documents in a true full screen mode within Firefox. The auto-hide full screen mode works nicely with other Firefox windows, so apparently the Acrobat Reader add-on breaks the feature. Windows 7 64-bit.

From the JS API Reference of the print method:
Non-interactive printing can only be executed during batch, console, and menu
events.
Outside of batch, console, and menu events, the values of bUI and of interactive are ignored
and a print dialog box will always be presented.

Auto-Hide Ribbon - Quick Access Toolbar disappears

In Outlook 2013 I select to auto-hide the ribbon but this also hides the Quick Access Toolbar. Why does it do that. When the ribbon is hidden there is still space for the quick access tool bar so why hide it? It would be really useful to be able to see the
quick access tool bar (in the available space) when the ribbon is auto-hidden. Now, if I want to use the quick access toolbar with the ribbon hidden I have to un-hide the ribbon first.
Can we see the quick access tool bar when the ribbon is hidden?

Hi,
By default, Auto-hide Ribbon causes the tabs, ribbons and quick access toolbar to completely disappear, giving you the maximum amount of space to edit documents.
If you want to show the Quick Access Toolbar, we can just select Show Tabs which
shows only tabs, along with the quick access toolbar, but without their associated ribbon commands.

Safari always auto-hide bars, always: also in normal screen mode (not full-screen, which is when autohide happens)

Bookmark bar is auto hidden in fullscreen mode, how to keep same functionality in normal mode out of full-screen?
In full-screen I just have the main toolbar showing, which is how I want it all the time. This or either make "full-screen" a lot better.

Hmm, i think i phrased original question badly, i am looking for auto-hide to be featured in normal window mode as well as fullscreen, and whatever else designers and programmers can dream up and not execute poorly.
I have now disabled all EXTENSIONS and removed all 3rd party bars (google, sharethis, never used nayway;) and as my suspicions confirmed Safari is running much better. I was very suspicious of this when it was added as it seemed like trying to match Firefox, which I also gave up some time ago in place of Chrome as my second browser, although I use Safari for 90%. The extensions i think causes freezing when i had Parallels running a Windows VM at the same time and also other times when not.
The extensions is a bit stupid in my opinion as any niggling, minor feature of a website should be addresses to the website rather than the browser. Where adverts are concerned, well, just use the web less or more specifically!
I think I'm fine with Toolbar/URL-search and bookmark bar, its great - simple and not intrusive. I believe EXTENSIONS introduction gave me some sort of weird mental outlook and would urge Apple to be more careful in bringing in different types of features unnecessarily.

Is there a short/hotkey to show/hide bookmark toolbar?

I would like to have in options>bookmark toolbar unchecked, and a hot key or shortcut key to show or hide the bookmark toolbar.
Having it checked takes room, and the autohide mouse hover addons get annoying when your going type in the URL bar and not use the bookmarks.
Is there a hotkey for this.
Thank you in advance.

''Is there a short/hotkey to show/hide bookmark toolbar?''
There is no keyboard shortcut for the bookmarks toolbar.
"Alt" will display the Menu Bar
"Ctrl+/" toggles the add-on bar
"Ctrl+K" displays Search bar because that is its entry area.
"Ctrl+L" displays Location bar because that is its entry area.
But there are alternatives, and you could set up zombie mode with the "Auto Hide" extension, so that the that is the only toolbar hidden or not hidden, though I wouldn't do that.
You can use F11 to toggle Full Screen mode, which hides title bar and toolbars.
On Windows you can use '''AutoHide -- http://www.krickelkrackel.de/autohide'''
which provides a Full Window mode("zombie mode") with "Shift+F11" similar to full screen but within the confines of the window that allows you to just show the title bar, with options I use with it always show the tabs bar and addons bar in Full Screen or Full Window mode.
In Full Screen or Full Window mode you can move the cursor to the top and see toolbars, use F10 or Alt to see menu bar, use Ctrl+K to see search bar, use Ctrl+L to see Location Bar. To see bookmarks bar you would need to show all toolbar toggle F10 or toggle F11.
My bookmarks toolbar takes very little space less vertical space than shown in this [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/icons/fx4toolbars.png before/after] picture, see items 61-66 on styling in the following:
You can make '''Firefox 6.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 6.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.
 Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.

Hide bookmarks toolbar while surfing. My screen is little and I want space to read

I would like the tolbar to act like the chrome one. Where is it noly available when opening a new tab.
Is there a way to do this? Hide the toolbar, temporary hide it or something.
I was using one addon but it made the close and maximize buttons all glitchy, and It didn't distinct between navigation and bookmarks toolbar, so the two where hidden, and Idon't want that.

Move your mouse to the top of Firefox at the same level as the tabs,
in an open area. Then right click. you can turn on or off the toolbars
as you please. You can also visit the '''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Firefox add-ons web site.] Firefox add-ons web site.''''' One add-on
to check out is '''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabs-always-in-titlebar/?src=external-Add-ons_Manager_Context_Menu-extension Tabs Always In Titlebar] '''''. I forget its name, but there is an add-on that
will hide all the toolbars until you move your mouse to the top of the page.

A How to turn off auto hide tools/panles

So Flash 9 has a new feature that is annoying me : it likes
to auto hide the tools/panels.
apparently Flash is turning this feature on at at random. I
realize that I must be accidentally hitting some hot key that turns
it on, but I can't find how to stop it. It's rather annoying.
How do I disable the auto-hide for the tools and panels?

Just go to settings, view, toolbars autohide.

Hide All Toolbars?

There are times when one wants to temporarily hide all toolbars and secondary menu bars (and maybe even auto-enlarge the open window to full screen size, except for the primary Apple menu bar), in order to view the window contents at larger size or to view a larger area -- and then jump directly back to the initial display, preferably with just a single mouse click to toggle between these two views.
Adobe Acrobat has precisely this capability for viewing PDF pages, and it's very handy.
Is there any way to accomplish this in Safari? Or any chance of getting Apple to addit?

If you want to suggest those features, do use this Mac OS X Feedback form.
Have to say frankly, I always respond negatively to a suggestion like this in an online forum, and especially in a vendor-managed online forum.
First one has to find your way to the Feedback form (which was not a live link in the Eudora email message sent me by the forum.
Then you have to fill in 8 or 10 pieces of data, which the vendor already has, but which are not auto-entered in the form.
And then you have to find, copy and/or rephrase your suggestion.
If the vendor -- or the Apple Discussion Forum -- can't manage to at least scan these threads occasionally to see if there are any useful jewels there (or, provide a "Suggest" box in the forum message itself, to just forward it), why should I do all the work, It's for the vendor's benefit, after all, as much as for mine.

When I open a pdf file, after a few seconds, it hides the toolbar and I don't know how to get it back. I use multiple monitors and, without being able to grab the toolbar, I am unable to move the pdf file to a different monitor. How do I stop this?

Does Firefox switch to full screen if you press F11 ?
You can also try the F10 key to see if that brings up the menu bar.

What happened to my Firefox toolbar?

All I have is the Yahoo Toolbar which I do want to keep but I would like to have the Firefox toolbar also. It just disappeared.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).

FLV Skin Auto Hide Doesn't Work

Hi Guys
I've created a flash video (in Flash Pro 8) and given it a
skin of ClearOverPlaySeekMute.swf. However, the Skin Auto Hide is
not working when viewed in a browser.
I have set the parameter of SkinAutoHide to true, which works
when you Preview as Flash, but as soon as it's exported and viewed
in a browser the skin does not hide. I can get it to occasionally
in Firefox, if I click and drag out of the video, but never in IE.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Matt

I have the same problem with IE 6 & 7! In Firefox it
works as it should, but in IE not at all.
Can't find anything about that in any forum.. Often the same
question, but nowhere an answer...
I thought about scripting a function to hide the skin after a
certain period of time,
but flvPlayback.skin._visible doens't work and the function
flvPlayback.skinHide doesn't exist....
Anyone an idea??? It's really urgent!

BUG - Auto-Hide Taskbar Won't Un-hide

Using Windows 7 64-bit on a multiple monitor extended desktop:
I've set my taskbar to auto-hide.
I'm not sure which application is causing this to happen, but I've managed to get Windows to not display the task bar when I mouse over the bottom of the screen when the currently focused application is maximized. If I normalize the application, I can get the task bar to un-hide. I had four apps open this morning when it happened again - Firefox, Thunderbird, Windows Explorer, and Visual Studio 2008. I suspect that Visual Studio is somehow the culprit, but it's kind of difficult to quantify.
Once the task bar decides that it doesn't have to un-hide itself, only a reboot fixes the issue.
I saw this behavior in in the release candidate as well.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet Forum.
To clarify if the issue is caused by any specific application, I would like to suggest that you run these applications using a 50/50 approach to quickly narrow down the exact cause. There may be related to signal application or conflicts among applications. To confirm this, please take the following steps:
1. Run Firefox, Thunderbird, Windows Explorer and Visual Studio 2008 separately to see if the issue occurs.
If the issue doesn't occur, please continue the step.
2. Open two of these applications at the same time per test to see which combination causes this issue.
If the issue doesn't occur neither, please continue the step.
3. Run three of these applications at the same time per test to see which combination causes this issue.
Meanwhile, I noticed that you use a multiple monitor, this can be a cause too. I'd like to suggest you disconnecting the external monitor and running the above four applications at the same time to see if the issue occurs.
Best Regards.

i hid the toolbar(file,edit,bookmarks,history...etc.) backward,forward arrow and home icon also,how to show it again???tnx
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== last night

'''Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)
Press ALT+ V T M (CTRL+V T M on Macs) on your keyboard. This should restore the menu bar (Firefox 3.6)
'''Other toolbars'''
View|Toolbars|Select the desired Toolbar
'''Other steps to try'''
Try restoring the default set by going to View|Toolbars|Customize| Restore Default Set. This will put the toolbars back in the default place
'''Safe Mode'''
You May need to reset toolbars and controls via [[Safe Mode]]
Make sure you completely close Firefox first. When you get to the Safe Mode window, select Reset toolbars and controls and then Make Changes and Restart.
Hope this helps!
