This is put together for those that like using Fast Dial with Autohide.

To download the Extension Autohide please go here

The first thing to do is to set up Windows to Start Firefox Maximised.

I am not all sure all versions of Windows are the same in this respect but I recommend the following:
Right click on the Firefox Start Icon and click Properties, in the following Menu under "Run:" select Maximised.

Next I would recommend that you download the Extension Autohide:

On the Help Page you will see this FAQ:

Further down the same page there is information concerning about:config settings for Autohide..

The Autohide Menu available under Options in Firefox Add-ons is very straightforward to set up.

Here is an example of one set of settings

Using Autohide

The most important thing is that you can see this image top right of your screen

If you can see this image it means that you are in Maximised Mode.

---------------------------------------------------

That means if you can remain in Fullscreen mode with Toolbars visible on hover.

---

This is the Autohide Toolbar Icon (in the shape of a cross)

Note
If you left click the Autohide Toolbar Button you will not see the top Windows Bar in Fullscreen Mode.

If you wish to see that Bar at all times, as well as having hover, please right click the Autohide Tollbar Button (thank you telega)

---------------------------------------------------

If you find for some reason that you are not in Maximised mode, then press F11, change to Maximised top right of screen and then hit F11 again, or the Autohide Toolbar button.

If you are not in Maximaised Mode in Fullscreen Mode, the Windows Bar at the Top of the screen will remain visible in Fullscreen Mode which is ugly.

And not only that but hover to show Toolbars will cease to Function

---

If you wish to return to "Normal Mode", that is showing all Toolbars with no hover and so on, the please press SHIFT-F11.
This will return you to what the author of Autohide calls Zombie Mode. :-)
