    I'd like to get rid of (hide) the bar with 'Edit, File, etc' and the bar with the webpage title.

    And I'd like to keep the tab bar and navigation bar. Is there anyway to do it?

    F11 does not do the trick cause it hides the tabbar and navigationbar.

    Sounds good too but the Tiny menu appeared above my back button bringing back another bar.

    Maybe too many addons combined.

    Looks good. Installing "Hide Caption" will remove the title bar and make it even smaller.

    I prefer the "slim browser" look.

    I logged in and downloaded the experimental add-on extension, Hide Caption to try it out. It does not play well with my set of add-on extensions, particularly SpeedDial (perhaps TabMixPlus?); the tab stays on Loading. I tried it with all the other "hiding" add-on extensions disabled, too.

    That is quite similar to mine. I moved the menu onto the Menu Bar (sharing it with ForecastFox), shrunk the menu with TinyMenu, and hid the Menu Bar with HideMenuBar (but the Menu Bar toggles with the alt key). I can also toggle the Navigation Bar with HideNavigationBar via the F2 key and the Status Bar with autoHideStatusBar.
