Firefox Interface Customization - How to maximize screen real estate without sacrificing functionality

If you want to have as much space for websites in your browser, without using a fullscreen mode - then choose Firefox. It's the most customizable browser in the market and my personal favorite. I do use Chrome though for when sheer speed is most important.

There are a few tricks to cramming as much interface as possible in the smallest space. I've come to a point that I can't really compact it anymore ;) The whole visible interface consists of a menu bar and a tab bar. The whole interface has a height of 41 pixels ;]

The extensions I use to achieve such a compact interface are:


Classic Compact (theme) and its companion extension Classic Compact Options

Download Statusbar (downloads on a bar, like in Chrome)

FireGestures (any mouse gestures extension will replace the arrow buttons)

Hide Caption Titlebar Plus

Omnibar (combine URL and Search fields)

And a couple custom Stylish userstyles

I'll update the post will additional details and tips later.
