How do I get rid of tabs bar in Firefox?
With safari, it only shows up when used. It's wasting space. I don't need the tabs bar. I only want the web address bar and bookmarks bar. This will shrink the top of the Firefox browser and leave more space to view web pages. Thanks, Frank

I don't think an add-on can hide the entire tab bar yet. You can do it with custom style rules. You would apply them to Firefox's toolbar area using a userChrome.css file. (Most likely those terms are unfamiliar. See https://www.userchrome.org/.)
But I don't know if it's possible to only hide the bar when there is one tab, and make it visible when there is more than one tab. If you don't find a solution for that, I can think of two possible workarounds:
(1) Use an add-on to prevent multiple tabs per window. Each tab would get its own window. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/i-hate-tabs-sdi-for-firefox/
Then you would never need the tab bar, except to use the controls that appear on a tab, such as the "mute" button.
(2) Instead of completely hiding the tab bar, use rules that squash it down to a short bar, and then show the full bar when you hover the mouse over a tab.

Or you could combine #1 and #2.
