Tiny Menu: Save Firefox screen real estate
by Ross McKillop Dec 19th 2006 at 8:00AM
- Download and install Tiny Menu (don't forget to restart Firefox)
- Click your 'new' menu (the M) and then select View > Toolbars > Customize...

- Click Done to return to the main Firefox window
- Again, click your new menu and this time choose View > Toolbars > and then uncheck the Navigation Toolbar
- Bask in the glory of your newly free pixels
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Why can't menus, address bar, tabs, etc run vertically so we have more vertical screen space?

Maybe you guys could do a post about the new Google toolbar? It seems to be rather temperamental. But more importantly, I'd like to be able to use some of it's icons in the main tool bar, which it implies you can, but then seems not to save. Anyway, I'd be interested in your thoughts on the new Google toolbar.

You do that, but if you want it to look better, I use Compactmenu. It works the same, but the "M" is a flame thing. here's a screenshot

Nice concept, but pretty much useless for OS X ;)

@justin: CompactMenu isnt compatible with FF 2.0, and changing the rdf file messes up the tab recovery history.

Interesting. I hardly use those options anyway (preferring key sequences) but its useful to have them available if i forget one.

You can do the same thing with Ifox graphite; In fact, I thought you could do this in any theme. I have everything stuffed into one bar. The only thing I can't do is remove the "file,/edit/view/...." drop down menus from the toolbar. What would really be awesome is to remove the toolbars altogether and just use mouse gestures and right click.
First time post, by the way; I love this site!
