Can you elaborate a bit about how you've slimmed Firefox header? I am also working 24/7 on a laptop and I value my screen estate a lot so one of main reasons I dont use Firefox is that its header and tabs consume the largest amount of screen space from Chrome/Safari/Firefox trio...

In Vimperator you can do this: :set toolbars=nonavigation,notabs (it will remove tabs and the navigation menu)

  I dont mean to insult you, but this looks just ugly, and the UI seems to be way too small to be used with comfort. I wonder if there's really no way to stop Firefox from wasting that space above the tabs, just like Chrome does it...

    > I wonder if there's really no way to stop Firefox from wasting that space above the tabs Don't put the tabs on the top of the screen. You are probably concerned about vertical real estate because you have a 16:9 display. Horizontal bars just don't make sense any more. Install the Tree Style Tab extension. Shove all your tabs into a sidebar. Now your browser has an eye-friendly aspect ratio. Plus you can have more than twenty tabs open at once without reducing the page title to a mere favicon.

    Do you look at the mantle piece whilst poking the fire ;) Personally I wouldn't care if it looked ugly as long as it renders stuff right.

    Yeah that's what I said "not pretty". But honestly it is so small I don't even look at it anymore. And the UI to be used? I haven't clicked a UI element in any browser manually for years (at least that what it feels like).
