Reviews for Hide Menubar by tanstaafl_bh
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
I don't even use Hide Menubar on Firefox any more ever since I found your other wonderful extension - Personal Titlebar - that allows me to move everything on the Menu Bar up to the Window Titlebar...
Please, please bring back support for Thunderbird, as, until Personal Titlebar supports Thunderbird, I still need it there...
Otherwise, I'd give it 5 stars...

Hide Menubar is one awesome extension, and its author, yuoo2k, provides fast and excellent support if you ever have any problems.
And the latest version from his site now uses a Panel, so that in Thunderbird3 and Firefox4, the menu bar doesn't shove the window contents down, it just drops the menu bar down over the very top of the page (sadly the panel doesn't work in Firefox 3 in combination with TreeStyle Tabs and having tabs on the left because of a problem with Firefox)...
Anyway, 5 stars for both functionality and support... thanks yuoo2k!

This is an incredibly useful addon - especially if you have a Netbook and screen real estate is at a premium - and it now works for both Ffox and Tbird (3.x)!
The developer is incredibly responsive to bug reports and feature requests. The Auto-Hide feature now works about as reliably as the Windows Taskbar Auto-Hide - meaning, virtually always works as expected, every now and then kind of forgets which state it is in, but a quick mouse-over of the hotspost fixes that right up.
With the recent changes/fixes - hotspot changed to the Window Title Bar, and the annoyance of the Menu Bar auto hiding itself while you are typing in the Awesome bar (or the Tbird Search box) - this is now one of my favorite and must have extensions.
Thanks yuoo2k!!

Ok, follow-up review...
The developer provided a fix for the problem I reported with AutoShow/Hise not working properly when all toolbars are hidden, but I then discovered that there was a conflict with another necessary extension I use - Tree Style Tab. When this extension is also installed and Tabs are displayed on the left side (and probably the right side), if you hide all toolbars, the AutoShow/Hide functionality breaks.
I have reported this to the developer, so hopefully he will be able to find a fix so I can hide the (empty) Navigation toolbar.

Last follow-up...
The developer has fixed every problem I have had with this extension very quickly.
It works perfectly now, and has become one of my most important extensions!
Now, if only he would make it compatible with Thunderbird (hint, hint)...
Mozilla Addons says it is compatible with both (but not the developer), but it only works in Firefox. Come one Mozilla! Stop making false claims that some people will blame on the developer!
