Firefox 4: Hide the Bookmarks Bar & Stop trimming URL previews

1. To automatically hide the firefox bookmarks bar when the toolbar is not in use, and have it show up when the mouse hovers over the Firefox toolbr, copy/paste the following code in your UserChrome.css file:

#PersonalToolbar {
visibility: collapse !important;
opacity: 0.1;
-moz-transition: visibility 30s, opacity 30s ease !important;
}

#navigator-toolbox:hover #PersonalToolbar {
visibility: visible !important;
opacity: 9;
-moz-transition: visibility !important;
}

To adjust the time it has to pass before the toolbar gets hidden, change the two 30s values. Tip from Lifehacker.

2. To stop firefox 4 from trimming the URLs in the status bar, copy/paste the following code in your UserChrome.css file:

statuspanel {
max-width: 100% !important;
}

This tells firefox to allow the status panel to use length 100% of the status bar. You can adjust this number as you like. Tip from Lifehacker.
