Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

While there are CSS solutions to hide the native tab bar while using a sidebar tab manager like Tree Style Tab or Sidebery, this addon focuses more on the ability to toggle the visibility of the tab bar when the user wants it. There may be times the user wants to see the sidebar, but need access to the native tabs for a short period of time.

Please follow the install instructions (Duplicated on Github here: https://github.com/irvinm/Toggle-Native-Tab-Bar) to enable userChrome.css usage and add a few lines to enable this solution.

Need help. It does not work for me. Followed the instructions to the letter. The only difference for me is that I already have userchrome.css up because I was using since before, which only has one change in it that for sure does not conflilct with this add-on. After following the instructions and then restarting Firefox the horizontal bar up top is still visible even while pressing the Toggle Native Tab Bar icon on and off.
