Hide the tab bar

Mozilla is awesome, but FF23 has me greatly annoyed! They deleted some of the most useful Firefox features around (Looking at you Browse By Name)
Hiding the tab bar is no longer controllable, I love my screen space, but please make the tab bar vanish if I don't need it. Do I need an add-on for this now? (ugh!)
And now I can't even send feedback on Input- https://input.mozilla.org because it doesn't give me an option to register a persona account!!!
I need to give Mozilla a Tennessee talking to about this snafu. What's the email address for them?

Not bad? Where are the icons for the extensions? Where is the bookmarks toolbar? Where is the titlebar? No add-ons bar any more. It looks horrible!

  • Is there a way to hide the tab bar on my I Pad 2 in IOS 5?

    Anyone know of a way to hide the tab bar in an I Pad 2 using OS5? It wasn't there on the previous operating system.

    I can only assume that you are talking about Safari and the answer is no. Safari now uses tabs. If you want a tab free browser, download iCab. You can use tabs or you also have the old Safari way of browsing open web pages at your disposal. Another rally nice feature is that you can swipe from one open web page to another open web page. It also has a ton of other features that Safari does not have.

  • How do I turn off the tab bar in FF 24 when only one window is open?

    I have just updated to FF 24.0 from FF 20 with Tab Mix Plus already installed. (OSX 10.6.8) From the Firefox Preferences menu, Tabs box, I have set the "Hide the tab bar:" option to "When I have only one tab." I have also gone to the Tab Mix Plus option box and set the drop down to the same value. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the desired effect. Firefox opens to my home page with a tab at the bottom. (I prefer the tabs at the bottom and that setting still works.) With only one page open, that tab is completely unnecessary, takes up space, and just plain bugs me.
    Now, here's what I have found. Once I've started Firefox, if I go to the Tab Mix Plus options box and select "Hide the tab bar: Always" and then set the option back to "When I have only one tab" I can enjoy one page without the tab bar, that is, until I've opened several tabs and then closed all but one. Then I see the tab bar stubbornly remain. An incompatibility between FF and Tab Mix Plus, perhaps. Is FF 24 not letting Tab Mix see the number of open tabs? Dunno. But I can't seem to solve it.

    Are you saying that the problem lies not with Firefox but with Tab Mix Plus? Tab Mix worked up through FF 20 to my knowlege. And I see from other questions that the persistant tab bar was an issue with FF 23 as well.
    Please note, that setting aside the extension issue, the Firefox preference Tab option should turn off the tab option when there is only one window open without any help from addons or extensions. I have disabled Tab Mix Plus, and set the FF option correctly, but the problem remains. As I see it, FF is not working as this user expects it to and is (slightly) broken.

  • How to stop the tab bar from automatically hiding itself?

    ive only found how to stop the address bar from disappearing and everyone with the tab problem seems to have posted this over a week ago and still hasnt been fixed yet if noone has a fix im out and done with firefox they can suck a fat one
    why add this feature! i can understand the address bar but not the tabs all you have to do to hide it was push the tab button again and its gone was that so fucking hard that you had ruin a perfectly fine browser

    Hello,
    In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and facilitate future improvements to Firefox, the option to hide the tab bar was removed.
    Fortunately, this can easily be resolved if you desire the keep tabs hidden. You can install "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/ Hide tab bar with one tab]", an extension hosted on Mozilla's add-ons site, which will restore the ability to hide the tab bar.
    Thank you and I hope this helps!

  • How can I eliminate the tab bar???

    1)Having a Tab(toolbar) diminishes the size, amount, of data
    in an opened window.
    2)The information in the tab bar seems to be a repeat of what is in
    the address window.

    In Firefox 4, if you hide the menu bar (right-click in a blank area after Help and uncheck menu bar) and then maximize the window, the tabs occupy the window title bar area next to the Firefox button. They get pushed down if you tap the Alt key to display the menu bar. But that might not be relevant to how you like to use the browser...
    I wonder whether anyone has created an add-on that (mostly) hides the tab bar except when you hover your mouse there or press a hotkey? You could search for one; there have been many tab management add-ons over the years.
    Tools > Add-ons > Get Add-ons
    or
    Tools > Add-ons (''search box on the upper right'')

  • I want to show the caption in the title bar if the tab bar is hidden.

    Is there any addon or configuration setting that i can use to show the caption in the title bar instead of the tab? I want to do this because i have set my browser to hid the tab bar if only one tab is opened.

    That is what i asked for but is not exactly what i want. I do not want the menubar to be shown at all. I want the tabs in the titlebar (the default behaviour). I want, when only one tab is open to hide the tabbar (this i have already succeded) and to show the caption in the titlebar.

  • I hid the address bar with a right click option, and cannot seem to get it back, how can I do this?

    I was watching some TV on the WB, and their player doesn't have a 'pop out' option, so I opened it in a new window, and hid the address bar with a right click-> hide option or something along those lines, and now I can't seem to get it back with the same methods, nor can I find a way to access properties or anything. All I can see are the tabs I have open and the bookmark bar.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    There are different solutions depending on kind of the problem.
    Keyboard:Alt+V,T,N
    Navigation toolbar, including address bar, should appear
    Then
    Keyboard:Alt+V,T,M
    Menu bar, including File, Edit, View, should appear
    Right-click the bookmark bar
    Click Customize... in the context menu.
    In the Customize Toolbar window which appears find the address bar (It will be shorter) amongst the buttons here.
    Drag the address bar by mouse onto the main window, where you want it to be.

  • I'd like to use Fox Tab exclusively and not have the tab bar at all. Is this possible?

    This isn't so much a problem as a request for information. Like the topic says, I want Firefox to not show the tab bar at all, but still retain the tab function so that I can open tabs and view them with Fox Tab.

    Fox Tab wasn't what I had the problem with, I was simply trying to provide background information that could possibly help someone answer me. fortunately, it worked. indirectly. edmeister, your tip led me to Fox Tab's options, where I found a check box next to "Hide tab bar."

  • How do I temporarily hide the scroll bars ?

    How do I temporarily hide the scroll bars ?

    I assume that your post in [[/questions/906990#answer-291125]] ended up in the wrong thread and should have appeared here.
    The only thing that changes if you run the code in the Scratchpad is the disappearance and reappearance of the scroll bar in the current tab. You do not see anything in the Scratchpad. So you need to switch back to the browser window.
    You can test it with this code, that should make both scroll bars appear:
    <pre><nowiki>void(document.body.style.setProperty("overflow","scroll",""));
    </nowiki></pre>
    [[/questions/906990#answer-291125]]:
    <blockquote>In Scratchpad I ran both:
    <pre><nowiki>void(document.body.style.setProperty("overflow-x","hidden",""));
    and
    void(document.body.style.setProperty("overflow-x","hidden",""));
    In the 2nd one I got:
    17:48:57.826 |x unexpected end of XML source
    @ Scratchpad:1'''
    For the 1st one I got no activity, only a blinking cursor.
    any other ideas ?
    Good luck and merry Christmas, Bill

  • There are tabs with bookmarks showing up in the tab bar that won't close. Why do they come up and why can't I close them?

    I can't close the bookmark tabs that show up automatically at the tab bar. I don't want them to open or show up. When they show up I can't close them and everything in the tab bar gets frozen. So I'm just stuck. Firefox won't even quit when this happens. How can disable these bookmark tabs from showing up. They are a nuisance.
    I also need instruction on eliminating bookmarks that came with Firefox. I deleted them, but they showed up again.

  • How do I restore the "close tab" button to the END of the tab bar, WITHOUT USING AN ADDON

    Up until FF31, I used to have the following setting configured which moved the little 'X' button that closed tabs off of the tabs themselvs and onto the far right of the tab bar.
    browser.tabs.closeButtons; User Set; Integer; 3
    No, this no longer works. It has still moved the close buttons back to the tab buttons. Until I can figure out how to fix this, I will be moving back to a previous version. I can't for the life of me see why this feature was removed, other than Mozilla's seemingly arrogant insistence that it knows what people want better than they do.
    I was since told by someone that I can use an addon to fix it, yet the problem is THEY DO NOT WORK. The addons that supposedly solve this all have intermittent failures where they don't load correctly, leave random dead tabs open, and in one case it even seemed to open new tabs when I tried to close one.
    It's absolutely inexcusable that the dev team is so arrogant to take away a feature that has fundamentally no impact on the rest of the browser, other than, as I said before, they THINK they know what we want better than we do. It's no small wonder that FF is losing market share. The only thing keeping me on board was really this function, as I prefer this layout, and if it's gone, I see no reason to stick with FF over others.

    unfortunately it is not possible to restore the close button to have only one (customizable) close button on the Tab bar without using an extension.
    The extension is necessary because you need to create a new toolbar button and bind the proper code to it to make the button act as a tab close button (command: BrowserCloseTabOrWindow()).

  • Why is it that when I set the preference to always show the tab bar, it refuses to stay checked after I quit Firefox and restart it?

    Using Mac OSX10.6.7 and FF 4.0.1, I'm having a problem with the preference to always show the tab bar. I want it to always show. I check this in the Preferences under the "tab" window, and everything is fine until I quit FF and when I restart FF the tab bar is gone again. I go into preferences, and that option is now unchecked. How can I fix this so that my preference is saved?

    That hasn't helped the last ten times I tried. I posted before. I deleted the preferences file, I tried changing the preferences file, I went into about:config and changed the autoHide preference there. No dice. Firefox is not saving my preference for that one thing.

  • How can i change the tab bar from opening a new tab when single clicked to open one only when double clicked?

    Out of habbit, i double click the tab bar and it opens 1 tab. however in the new beta, it opens 2.
    Is there anyway to change this so single clicks dont open new tabs on the tab bar?

    I don't have multiple tab bars and haven't installed anything to try and get them.
    I re-read what I wrote earlier and realised it's not worded clearly when I said: If I have more than a single tab bar of tabs open
    I meant: When I have so many tabs open that they won't all fit into the tab bar at once

  • How do I get the tab bar at the bottom of the screen (right above the task bar) WITHOUT Tab Mix Plus?

    ''locking - please stick with your original thread about this problem - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/934590''
    I like having the tab bar at the bottom of the screen; I use the task bar AT THE BOTTOM to switch between programs, so I want the the tab bar AT THE BOTTOM to switch between web pages. The only way I've found to get the tab bar at the bottom of the screen is the extension Tab Mix Plus. I used it for a long time, and it worked great.
    Unfortunately, when I recently updated to Firefox 14.0.1, I encountered an error: I could no longer middle-click on a link to open it in a new tab (which I do ALL the time). After some troubleshooting, I found that it was being caused by some incompatibility between Firefox 14.0.1 and Tab Mix Plus; upon removing Tab Mix Plus, my middle-clicking was back to normal.
    But without Tab Mix Plus, I'm back to having the tab bar at the top of the screen. I've searched and searched, and I can't find anything besides Tab Mix Plus that will let me put the tab bar at the bottom of the screen. I've found tons of stuff about the option "tabs on top", but that has to do with putting the tab bar above/below the navigation bar--it's still at the top of the SCREEN either way.
    What can I do?

    Reset the pref <b>layout.scrollbar.side</b> to '0' or set to '2' to place the scroll bar at the default right side.

  • On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?

    On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?
    In my current Firefox, the "new tab" icon/item from the "customize" pop-up window menu of items is placed next to my home, back, forward buttons near the top-left of my header (Button 1 for "new tab"). Then, the tab bar automatically come with a small tab (with a + sign) to the right of your last tab opened (so you click on + and a new tab opens. Button 2 for "new tab"). I like to have this "new tab" button twice (as a + mini tab, and next to my "home icon".
    When I upgraded to Firefox 4, I seemed to be only able to "customize" or use the "new tab" in one place. Either as an icon next to home button, or as a "+ minitab", but NOT both.
    What can I do to put this button in Firefox 4 on BOTH places???
    Your help is really appreciated. I want to upgrade, but I want my buttons on both places...
    I upgraded to FF 4, but downgraded again just because this feature... that's just me of coarse :-)
