How to Remove Title Bar From Firefox and Save Some Precious Screen Space

Mozilla Firefox is the default web browser in numerous Linux distributions. It is free and open-source software and the obvious choice when you don’t want to use Google’s privacy-invading Chrome browser.

If you open Firefox in Ubuntu or some other operating system, you will notice that it has an additional title bar at the top that displays the information about the active tab.

This feature could be useful to some people but for me, it is an annoyance. It takes up a few pixels of additional screen space and I don’t like it.

If you find it irritating as well, let me show you how to disable this additional title bar in Firefox and save the precious screen space.

How to remove title bar of Firefox browser

Getting rid of the title bar from Firefox is very easy and it can be done in two simple steps.

Step 1

In newer versions of Firefox, right click on the tab bar and choose Customize Toolbar.

In the older Firefox browser, click on the hamburger menu. Choose the customize option from this menu.

Step 2

Firefox opens the customization menu in a new tab. Move to this new Customize tab and look at the bottom. You’ll see Title Bar option checked.

You just need to uncheck this Title Bar option. That’s it.

You’ll notice that title bar disappears immediately. No need to even restart the browser.

You can enjoy the open source Firefox browser with more screen space now.
