Hello,

When I go full screen mode on firefox (version: 87.0 64 bit) and mac (version: Big Sur 11.2.3) both the top and bottom apple tool bars go away (which I want to happen) but the firefox search bar and bookmarks are still there on top.

When I go FS on my windows computer, the full web page displays and then when I hover op top the firefox search bar pops down until I hover off it, this is what I want to happen on my mac!

See attachment of firefox search bar staying while in FS mode and please help! Thank you for your time.

This might work better on Mac in a future Firefox version.

Yes, this is an issue from very long ago that has never been addressed properly until now. You need to scroll to the end of the report to see recent activity in this bug.

There is this pref on the about:config page that you can try to toggle to see if what effect it has (if any).
