To be fair, its still got plenty of warts on OS X too. After all this time, putting Firefox in full screen mode results in seriously wonky & intolerable behavior. Its the only app I have that shifts all its chrome (toolbars, tabs) when you bang the top of the screen. Compare this to Safari (only the menu shifts). No, hiding all of it is not the solution.

The only real complaint I have about Firefox on macOS is that fullscreening a video takes forever. Safari does it twice as fast and with a smooth animation instead of blanking the screen.

Otherwise I find the experience on Windows and Mac very similar.

That doesn't happen to me at all. What happens is that the menubar shows, and the top bar of the browser (where the back/forward buttons and the URL bar are) slides down to give space to the window bar (with the zoom and close buttons) over the top of the browser.

That's all. All the content, sidebar, etc stays stationary.

It's true that Safari does it better, but honestly not by much.

Sidebar and content do stay stationary, but everything else (tabs, url bar, toolbars) shifts for me. Its hard selecting tabs when they cause a shift down, being they are at the top of the bang area.

The best part, is when they do shift down, they only expose empty space.
