Hovering on tabs in fullscreen opens the Mac menu bar

When I'm using Firefox for Mac in full screen, it happens often that I hover the mouse cursor on one of the tabs, and the Mac menu bar opens and covers the entire tab area (see the screenshot). So I can't choose the tab anymore, and have to move the cursor away from the tab area so the Mac menu hides again.

This is a quite inconvenient issue with Firefox on Mac.

For example, in Chrome for Mac, there is a small vertical gap on top of the tabs to avoid that effect (see the screenshot). Or in Safari, tabs are located below the address bar.

Is there any solution to this issue?
