Can't find extension to make menu bar appear by pointing mouse to top
Hello,
I used to have an extension that would reveal the menu bar when the mouse is pointed to the top of the screen. For some reason, I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Thanks.

Sorry, I don't recall an extension like that ever being mentioned here.
Hitting the Alt key doesn't show the Menu Bar for you?
When you run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 top toggle) then all toolbars are hidden and you get the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar if you hover the mouse to the top.
To get the Menu bar as well you would have to use code in the userChrome.css file.
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#toolbar-menubar[moz-collapsed="true"]{visibility:visible!important}
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
Note that you need to have the Menu bar visible in normal mode.
Thanks cor-el. That script might do it. However, I know there's an extension out there. I was using it for years until my last PC bit the dust.
That might have been the Autohide extension that has been discontinued.
