Firefox and Fullscreen mode

I am a Firefox guy, I really am. Or should I say I'm a vimperator guy?

Well, the thing is that I love having the screen clean and simple, just to focus on the staff I'm actually using/reading. Fullscreen mode (F11 shortcut on firefox by default) helps in that respect, it has a downside though: it autohides the the tabbar and you need to move the mouse to the top of the windows to make it appear. What's the problem? I do *not* like using the mouse!

So, here is the thing that I'd like to have the tabbar always on. How do I do that?

Open about:config

Search for browser.fullscreen.autohide and set it to false.

There you go!

Try it yourself and you'll see your tabbar does not hide ;)

Regards

PS: does anybody know how to make firefox use the last oxygen-gtk theme?
