Show bookmarks bar in full screen mode

[Tarmac61117]

In full screen mode, the bookmarks bar is hidden even if the setting "always show" is enabled for it.  "Always show" should show the bookmarks bar always.   A similar behavior happens when the menu bar option is enabled in full screen mode, i.e. the menu bar is not displayed.

Suggestion:  either have a separate setting to enable the book mark bar and menu in full screen mode, or honor the "always".  Thanks!

Hello

If you'd like to try
BookmarksDropDown https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmarksdropdown

Why this is not default is beyond me.

How's that vote going?

You do realize that others vote all the time, like whether to stay with Firefox.

Fix this stupid issue...

If I select "always show" it shouldn't change when i go full screen mode. Having this not be default is insane.

And for that matter make it easy to resize the height of the various bars to maximize screen space. Firefox should always be the most customizable browser out there.

Two things I want and should be default when going full screen while browsing (as we are just trying to maximize our screen space). That our tool bars stay the same when we access them, when we hover up top and that the windows task bar show itself when we hover down low. Why is this not the default way this is designed? It is all about maximizing space for people with small screens like those of us with 14" light and portable laptops.

Please fix, or give us the options to fix this, so we don't have to hit f11 (and in my case shift f11)

Temporary work around...

1. Find your profile directory (~/.mozilla/firefox/<hash>.<profile_name>)

2. Create a folder named "chrome" if it doesn’t exist yet.

3. Create a file called "userChrome.css" in the "chrome" folder

4. Add the following content
```
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

/* full screen toolbars */
#navigator-toolbox[inFullscreen] toolbar:not([collapsed="true"]) {
   visibility:visible!important;
}
```

5. Restart your Firefox and Voila!

@liar666This worked for me, thanks! That userChrome.css didn't work for me though. Here's what fixed it courtesy of ChatGPT.

Edit: Turns out this makes the bookmarks bar visible all the time, even when trying to watch a youtube video in fullscreen lol. I'll update this post when I get around to fixing it.

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");

/* Make sure the entire top UI bar stays visible in fullscreen */
#navigator-toolbox,
#PersonalToolbar,
#personal-bookmarks {
  visibility: visible !important;
  display: flex !important;
  opacity: 1 !important;
  height: auto !important;
  max-height: none !important;
  min-height: 0px !important;
  overflow: visible !important;
  transform: none !important;
  transition: none !important;
  position: relative !important;
}

/* In case fullscreen adds any collapsing attributes */
#navigator-toolbox[inFullscreen],
#PersonalToolbar[inFullscreen],
#personal-bookmarks[inFullscreen] {
  visibility: visible !important;
  display: flex !important;
}

/* Ensure PlacesToolbarItems (the scrollbox of bookmarks) also shows */
#PlacesToolbarItems {
  display: flex !important;
  opacity: 1 !important;
}
