Along with this, I added this snippet to firefox/userChrome.css:

    #TabsToolbar { visibility: collapse !important; }

I absolutely love it, now there's no title bar on my Firefox. My screen is big enough that I have the horizontal space to spare, and it feels sleek without the tabs on top. If you've tried out Firefox before and felt like it wasn't quite there yet, now is a good time to give it another try.

More info on userChrome here, if anybody wants to try it out: https://www.userchrome.org/how-create-userchrome-css.html

I've just modified my Firefox like this and I'm now also in love with it. Tree organization plus seeing whole/most tab names is such an improvement. F1 to easily hide the bar if I want the space back. Made a few "header" web pages to organize stuff under for later reading/watching (and can then collapse the tree when I don't need all of it.

Only issue is that removing the tab bar also got rid of the close/minimize/maximize buttons, but it's not a big deal since you can still drag the window to make it smaller, double click to maximize, and alt+F4 exists to close it. As long as I never want to minimize it anyway.

I was trying to think of a way to organize different sections like "work" and "personal", header web pages is a great idea.

I do the same and I love it! I use the Tab Center Redux add-on for displaying tabs, but most of the time I don't and I know where my tabs are, switching between them using cmd+<index>. I toggle tab display using F1.
