I keep seeing this question around and am wondering if anyone has had any luck? I tried an add-on, but that didn't work. All the other stuff (script, etc.) is beyond my comprehension. Will Firefox ever add this feature? Or, would someone be willing to do a step-by-step?

If you right click/2 finger click near your address bar where there are no buttons, a menu drops down. On the drop down menu, you can opt to hide toolbars. This is native to firefox with no extensions installed.
