If you can't see the vertical tab sidebar you need to reopen it! Use the hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+V), the VTR icon somewhere in the right top corner (via default) or Firefox's default sidebar icon and switch in the sidebar header's dropdown menu to Vertical Tabs Reloaded.

The default horizontal tab browser can't be hidden right now, that's a limitation in Firefox itself: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1332447

Omg this is SO COOL!!! What a slim and revamped Firefox does this give!! If there would be something to add, I can only wish for a "merge" or "blend" window controls into the meny bar, so to still be able to minimize the window when all the "hidden" options are on.
