I just upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04. In my previous version, the title, status, and the "File ..." menu were all bundled together in a neat little bar for every maximized window.

Now they are all separate, and as you can see they are taking up a huge amount of screen real estate. Is there any way to get some of it back?

Two really big bars 2 big bars

Three really big bars! 3 big bars

  • Please reupload the 2nd screenshot and provide a link to it so that I can embed it. – karel May 15 '18 at 03:28
  • Try PixelSaver Gnome shell extension? See https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/723/pixel-saver/ – mBardos May 17 '18 at 06:07

See [this](https://askubuntu.com/questions/966989/ubuntu-17-10-windows-menu-in-panel) for a global menubar option, but warning: the solution is pretty buggy. – pomsky Jun 13 '18 at 12:52

Assuming this issue is only on Firefox, go to the browser's menu and click Customize. At the bottom, there is a dropdown menu called Toolbars. Your menu bar will be selected. Deselect it.
