I have been using Firefox for a long time. When I tried Google Chrome for the first time, what I found most impressive was the overall real estate that I got. Not only did it offer more space, its also made it look simple because its clutter free. Therefore I decided that I will used Google Chrome going forward. But habbits are difficult to change. Somehow I found myself using Firefox most of the time.
Therefore I decided to 'Pimp down' my Firefox.
Here is what I found effective for myself:
a. Reduce the size of Icons: Right-click on the buttons in navigation toolbar, choose ‘customize’ and check ‘Use Small Icons’ at the bottom.
b. Hide title bar: This is really not required. I used the add on Hide Caption Titlebar Plus (Smart) by DarthMadara. Get it here
c. Hide menu bar: Replace the standard menu bar with a tiny menu popup using Tiny Menu 2.0.2 by Anthony Lieuallen.
Now I have a lot more real estate to play with on my Firefox window.
