Add this to you userchrome.css profile file :

#TabsToolbar { visibility: collapse; }

#sidebar-header { visibility: collapse; }

I wish there was a way to collapse the tab war only when the tree style tabs are visible. I find the extension very useful when I have a workflow that requires categorizing many tabs open, but the bar uses too much horizontal real estate to justify keeping it open constantly.

I'm really in love with my ultra wide screen monitor. No more lack of side space

Mozilla is still working on an actual API for hiding tabs, so presumably this should be possible in a few versions from now.

FYI, you need this at the top of your userChrome.css:

  @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");

See more details here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=UserChrome.css&pri...

Where is that file supposed to be placed at?

For me it's at ~/.mozilla/firefox-trunk/047mvdpd.default/chrome/userChrome.css (your profile id will be different, and it'll be firefox instead of firefox-trunk if you're not running nightly).

Click Help -> Troubleshooting information (or type about:support into the address bar) and it will show your current Profile Folder. It's in the chrome subfolder under that.

you may have to manually create this btw. I had to create the dir and file by hand and then restart FF.

Wow thanks, the directory was absent in my profile, and I was thinking maybe my version doesn't do this. It's all nice and (slightly more) spacious now!
