I've been using Vimperator in Firefox for a long time. I'd like to hide or remove the address bar to get a bigger main window. However, after update to v29.0, the address bar cannot be hidden or removed. How can I do that? Or which add-in can help?

Here is the screenshot of my older version (before v29.0); you can see the address bar has been hidden:

  • The question is not asking for _users_ to have their address bar removed, it's asking how to turn off the address bar in one's own Firefox instance with the Vimperator extension. Previous versions of Firefox with Vimperator saved much space by putting all this information in a combined status-bar / command-line, and the address bar becomes unnecessary once you are navigating entirely with the keyboard. It just takes up space. – wmorrell May 05 '14 at 03:53

    @DavidThomas, if you are using `vimperator`, you will NOT suggest me "Don't do this". `Vimperator` will help you do anything (almost) by commands. Tool-bar, Address-bar, Navigation-bar are all "nothing matters" – Marslo May 05 '14 at 06:39
  • Please @Marslo, witch colorsheme are you using? – fauve Dec 15 '14 at 23:55
  • Hi @fauve, the Appearance is `FT DeepDark` – Marslo Dec 19 '14 at 12:07
  • Thank’s. And I think that the vimperator’s colorshem is [darknes](https://github.com/vimpr/vimperator-colors/blob/master/darkness.vimp). I am right? – fauve Dec 19 '14 at 23:15

What you want is :set gui=nonavigation. See http://code.google.com/p/vimperator-labs/issues/detail?id=943

  • Hi, thanks for your answer. I've tried `:set gui=nonavigation` but nothing happens... I've tried using a addin [Hide Navigation Bar](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-navigation-bar/), but this addin needs be triggered, and "address bar (navigation bar)" shows again if the mouse move to tab, it's truly annoy.... – Marslo May 05 '14 at 06:44

    Cool!!! I found that, after remove the `Hide Navigation Bar`, the setting of `vimperatorrc` works!!! Thanks!! – Marslo May 05 '14 at 06:52

    @Sekar put the command in your .vimperatorrc file like Marslo mentioned. – bias May 12 '14 at 00:26

    Just save it as `~/.vimperatorrc`. Create it if it doesn't exist. Alternatively, you can use `:mkvimperatorrc` from within vimperator, which will create the file and save all current settings (including `:set gui=nonavigation` if you have called it). – Colin Emonds Dec 17 '15 at 23:42
