disablemenu - mozilla firefox extension
enables disabling the annoying and space consuming main menu in firefox(remove menu in firefox)
description and notes
NOTE: (versions <=0.2.2) if menu is disabled and you press ALT-T(for the Tools menu), the Tools menu will be unavailable. so first press ALT-M to enable the menubar and then ALT-T, ALT-F or whatever.
Since version 0.2.5 disablemenu has an autohide function, which is enabled by default, so your mainmenu will always hide after 30 seconds. If you don't like this go to the preferences menu and set autohide time to 0.
In version 0.2.6 I have added a function which allows to automatically unhide the mainmenu if you move the mousepointer to the top of the firefox window. This behaviour can be disabled/changed in the settings menu, of course.
In version 0.3 some bugs and annoying things were fixed: disfunctional menus, hiding menu though it is still active and such. New features are the ability to change the hotkey and locales support, so there'll probably be some translations in future.
In version 0.3.2 I implemented optional statusbar hiding.
downloads
NOTE: disablemenu has found a place on
addons.mozilla.org
I will still put the extension here to download, because extensions on
addons.mozilla.org need approval, so it can take some time until it's available from there.
As I noticed today, the extension can also be installed from here and will still be noticed by firefox' "find updates" function. I always thought that won't work because there is an updateURL option for extensions, so I think firefox checks addons.mozilla.org for the extension-ID, if no updateURL is given.
