While using Firefox on Mac in fullscreen mode, trying to select a different tab by moving the pointer to the topmost position is a really annoying process. 90% of the times, I get the menu bar (which is hidden in the full screen mode, which is fine) jumping down and covering the tabs. To select the tabs without the menu bar interfering, I need to be extra careful while using the pointer! I find this annoying. I went back to Chrome to see how it is managed. Chrome actually resizes the window and takes the tab one position down, when the menu bar pops out, in the full screen mode. Not sure if it is the best workaround, but at least it works, and is much better than what Firefox does. Any setting to overcome this?
