Autohide Bookmarks Toolbar in Firefox - Easy Guide
Enhance Firefox with the Bookmark Autohider Extension
Do you prefer to conceal toolbars like the Menu and Status Bars to maximize your screen space? Now, the Bookmarks Toolbar can also be included in this functionality with the Bookmark Autohider extension for Firefox.
Before Installation
Previously, Firefox users had three methods for hiding the “Bookmarks Toolbar,” but each required a manual action. One option was through the “View Menu.”
Another involved right-clicking within one of the toolbar areas.
A third method utilized a dedicated toolbar button. Given the ability to autohide other toolbars, wouldn’t it be convenient to apply the same feature to the “Bookmarks Toolbar” as well?
After Installation
Upon installing the extension, it immediately becomes operational. The “Bookmarks Toolbar” is then effectively hidden from view.
To reveal the “Bookmarks Toolbar,” simply position your mouse cursor at the bottom edge of the “Address Bar.” The toolbar will remain visible as long as the cursor is over it.
It’s worth noting that the activation area may vary slightly depending on your chosen theme.
Removing your mouse cursor initiates the toolbar’s disappearance.
The toolbar is nearly concealed…
It’s completely hidden once more, awaiting your need for it. Additional autohiding features consistently enhance the browsing experience.
Configuration Options
Within the extension’s preferences, you can adjust the timing of the autohiding sequence. This includes setting the duration the “Bookmarks Toolbar” remains visible after the mouse leaves its area, and the delay before it reappears.
In Conclusion
If you routinely autohide your toolbars and have sought a similar solution for the “Bookmarks Toolbar,” your search is complete. This extension is beneficial even if you generally prefer to keep your other toolbars consistently displayed.
