Give your Firefox more spaces
I am surfing on a 14″ wide screen laptop and somehow I find out that the I dont have enough space. The browser (Firefox) is cramped with tabs, Menu Bar, Google Bar, and Navigation Bar. A great idea is to make all of these a little bit smaller and pack them on just a bar. The trick is actually quite simple. First, you need to right click anywhere on the navigation bar (not on the button though), then select “Customize…”.
On the customize window, select the option “view small icons”, which can be found at left bottom of the window. After that, drag the navigation buttons and put them beside the menu bar, then followed by the address bar and search field. Apply the change and return back to Firefox. You will see that there is still an empty bar below the menu bar. To get rid of this, go to View - Toolbars, and untick the Navigation Toolbars.
It is very simple and no plugin required. What make me feel bad about this is, I have found this feature after years of using Firefox. Ok, below is the snapshot of my Firefox.
Have a great weekend!
