Better Browsing with Firefox

Firefox has numerous competitors - Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer - yet it still remains one of the most customizable browsers of all time.
If you're like me, you either - A) Want to Maximize Screenspace - or - B) Have low resolution.

I've decided to put together a guide of Firefox plugins to bring you're boring browser to this:

Remove Statusbar

This may sound crazy, but we're not removing information from the statusbar, we just want to combine features to maximize screen space.

For this we want to install a handy little plugin called Fission.
By default it just shows the page loading status in the URL bar, but if you go into the plugin settings you can also show the active link status and connection status.

After installation go to the Firefox view settings and deselect the status bar and you're all set!

Add More Search Options

Fastestfox comes quite in handy.  It can convert text URLs into links, show a search bubble when text is selected, and add extra options to search pages.

I recommend installing this plugin for a more refined experience, but prefer to turn off the "Endless Pages" feature as it can create issues with many websites.

Remove the Menu Bar & Bookmarks Toolbar

This process can be quite cumbersome, but the results are superb!  First we want to install a nifty plugin called TinyMenu, this allows us to merge the Menu bar into one tiny button.  I personally like to go into plugin options and use the image rather than the text "Menu", but this is entirely up to you.

Once we have TinyMenu installed we can merge the Menu Bar and Navigation Bar, to do this the plugin author offers an easy guide here.

Remove the Titlebar

This goes to extreme!  Ever notice how Safari blends in the titlebar, well we can take it a step farther with Hide Caption Titlebar Plus.

This plugin allows you to merge the toolbars and the titlebar when fullscreen, quite the space saver!

Hope you all enjoyed this guide I put together!
