Firefox Hack : Slimming Down Firefox for Maximum Screen Space

Click to enlarge

I like to have as much screen space as possible, so i like to slim my apps down, especially the ones I use most often such as Firefox. Here is what I've done. I'm not suggesting this is what everyone should do, but it might give you some ideas, or at least a tip or two that you like.

1. Right click on one of the toolbars and go to customize. Find "Show" at the bottom and choose "Icons" under the dropdown. Now check "Use small icons." Those options may or may not be Firefox defaults, I don't really remember.

2. Get rid of the Bookmarks Toolbar. It's kind of cool, but it takes up too much screen space for my liking. There's a Bookmarks menu, it's useful!

3. Tiny Menu. It's a Firefox extension that allows you to hide the menu items that you don't use too often such as File, Edit, View and Help. I like to keep Bookmarks and Tools handy because I use those two pretty often, but you can hide them all if you would like.

4. Right click a toolbar and choose customize again. Drag a separator to the right of the tiny menu. Now drag everything from the Navigation Toolbar up to the right of the tiny menu to fill in all of the wasted empty space. Now you can uncheck the Navigation Toolbar to hide it because it's no longer needed! I personally got rid of the Google Search in the toolbar, I never use it.

5. StumbleUpon. I like the extension, I hate that it takes up an entire toolbar in Firefox. I just moved it up next to the address bar where Google Search used to be.

6. MiniFox. It's a Firefox Theme that just makes everything just a bit more compact.

Awesome! I hope that someone gets something from this. At very least maybe someone will discover how customizable Firefox is and explore things on their own.

Oh, and no, that is not the resolution I use, I scaled it down to make it easier to view. And no, I do not use the Firefox Google Startpage.

enjoy!
