Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Personal Menu is a better way to hide the main menu in Firefox
When I bought my MSI Wind netbook, I immediately went searching for Firefox addons to help me maximize my screen area.
Initially, I used the simple Hide Menubar addon to give Firefox the IE7-style . Later, I switched to Personal Menu, which provides a few additional functions that are extremely handy.
Apart from being able to hide the main menu, Personal Menu can add additional buttons for bookmarks, history, and a custom menu. The custom menu allows you to add not only top-level items like file, edit, and view, but sub-items like addons and downloads. If you customize your install frequently, you may want to add restart for easy access.
If that isn't enough, Personal Menu also offers middle and right-click actions on its buttons for fast access to history and bookmark actions and to its own options screen.
Tweaked too much and messed up your menu? Pressing shift + control + alt + s will get things back to normal.
For such a small addon (77k), Personal Menu is incredibly useful.

personal menu is great. i used to use it but it won't work with shiretoko, so i switched to tinymenu, which contrary to what they tell you, does work with it.
