toggle all toolbars
Where is the button which will hide/ unhide the Navigation, Bookmarks, and add-on toolbars all at once? I can't find it anywhere. It did everything but the tabs, which was awesome! In the space where it used to be, there is a "fullscreen" toggle which fails to minimize the toolbars - and thus fails to deliver true fullscreen. I checked out the following add-ons, but ALL were buggy, temperamental, and each only a partial solution: R-kiosk 0.9.0 (broken) FF Fullscreen 7 (buggy to the point of being unusable) Hide Navigation Bar (very jittery and only a partial solution) Hide BookmarksBar (clunky, only partial solution)

Sorry, I didn't look in the More system details, so I missed that you are on a Mac.
I'm not on a Mac, so I don't know how that extension works and what it does, but if it works for you then there is nothing to prevent you from using it.

If you still see toolbars in full screen mode then right-click free space on the tab bar or another toolbar and make sure that hide toolbars has a check mark.
I right-clicked free space on the tab bar. There was no option for "hide toolbars". Instead, I see check marks next to the following: Navigation Toolbar, Bookmarks Toolbar, Tabs Toolbar, Add-on Bar. Beneath that is "Customize..."
Having to check and uncheck each toolbar one by one every single time makes the feature impracticable to the point of unusable.
That means that you aren't in full screen mode and you can only autohide toolbars in full screen mode.
You can use the full screen toolbar button that can be found in the toolbar palette to switch to full screen mode.

I know what "full screen mode" looks like. I also know how to customize the toolbar. Adding a second "full screen mode" button doesn't solve the problem.
Hide Menubar: Not available for my platform (OSX) Hide Navigation Bar: (very jittery and only a partial solution- see my first post) Hide Tabbar: I don't want to hide the tab bar.
I've found a support forum thread which addresses my issue: "Since Firefox 14 came out on OSX ... the toolbars (awesome bar, bookmark bar etc.) no longer auto hide when in full screen on OSX Lion. "
The suggestion is to install an add-on called "Old Lion Fullscreen". I find this solution distasteful, but it does work very well. What do you think of it?
