Getting more screen real estate in Firefox

Last Updated on October 1, 2010 by Dave Farquhar

Web browsers take entirely too much room on the screen. I’ve seen tips for putting Firefox on a diet, but nothing that frees up as much space as my bag-o-tricks.

So let’s go.

First, go to View, Toolbars, and Customize. Drag the address bar and search bar up to the top, next to the File/Edit/View/History/Bookmarks menus. Drag the arrows up there too, if you want them. Click OK. Now to back to View, Toolbars, and uncheck the navigation and bookmarks toolbars.

Now do a Google search for "classic compact Firefox theme." Install it.

You’ll have significantly more screen real estate.
