On a phone, when you scroll, it automatically hides the address bar and everything on it, to go 'full-screen'. I would love this on my laptop. That when I scroll, or even just sit on a webpage for a moment, the URL bar will smoothly transition into being 'hidden'.  I want to be clear: I do NOT want to use the fullscreen, CTRL + F11 function, because then my Windows task bar is not accessible. Fullscreen browsing and a hidden task bar are currently not compatible. I have a userChrome.css file that gets the job done, but I would like official Firefox support!

I love this idea, I feel like you could even have it come back on screen if the user moved their mouse off the top of the screen.  This would be nice especially since oled monitors are becoming cheaper and an item more and more users will have.  Any thing to help cut down on screen burn in would be great!

Autohide Search Navigation bar

Is there any way to auto hide the navigation bar.  I will get more space to work if it hides automatically after entering the site or put any button to hide and show the navigation bar.

This is a screenshot of compact mode. Mostly we don't need the address bar, why not have option to just auto-hide the "address bar", which pops up when mouse touches the top screen and on new tabs.

I would like this as well. This would be helpful especially when sharing a screen with other programs. When FireFox is Fullscreen, it removes the address bar as well as the tabs. It would be nice to have an optional setting to replicate this feature without fullscreen.

I also would like this feature. It would be especially nice when sharing a screen with other apps. Since another app is taking up valuable real estate, it would be helpful to hide the address/tab bar. (Picture shown is an example without the address/tab bar).
