Menu Bar Auto-Unhide Behavior in Full Screen Mode

Is there away to prevent the auto-unhide of the menu bar in full screen mode when the cursor moves to the top of the screen? I have searched for answers to this and found some old posts about creating a userChrome.css file but I couldn't get it to work.

Here's my use case. I access a remote desktop through Citrix for work. I use a browser via Citrix Lite instead of Citrix Workspace because the desktop will dynamically adjust to the window size when I don't need it in full screen which Citrix Workspace will not do. However, the auto-unhide feature of menu bar when the browser is in full screen mode also causes the desktop to dynamically adjust when it drops down and again when disappears. This forces me pause when trying to work because it happens often since I'm using a a large monitor with multiple applications open with tool bars on the top rows. I know that I can not hide the menu and address bar but don't want to lose the extra screen real-estate. I would much rather have a keyboard shortcut to reveal the menu bar or some other option.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or developers. If you want to leave feedback for developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Share ideas and feedback…. Alternatively, you can use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

You can also file a bug report or feature request. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.
