A very quick tip that I don't want to forget about: One can automatically hide the firefox bookmark bar, the bar will show when the mouse hovers the bottom of the navigation bar and hide after a defined delay.
The userChrome.css file holds style rules for modifying Firefox's user interface. This website is a good learning resource.
On linux the file is either in
$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/[PROFILE_ID].default/chrome/userChrome.css$HOME/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/firefox/[PROFILE_ID].default/chrome/userChrome.css if you use the snap versionTo locate the profile currently used by Firefox one can visit about:support and check the line Profile Directory.
You also have to set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in about:config otherwise Firefox ignores userChrome.css
The code is available on MrOtherGuy's Github, I'm copying it as a reference. It works well with Firefox 87.0.
