- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12604623, 9 months agoLove this extension. I use it all the time, when it cleans up for sites that I have to disable AdBlock.
Would love to have a configurable hotkey. - Rated 5 out of 5by gcbff, a year agoExcellent!
Dev, Andrew: pls add a gitlab/hub/etc link so I can send patches to have this work on mobile firefox!
thank you!Developer response
posted a year agoIt's in the addon description - https://github.com/andfarm/HideFixedElements. I don't have a device running Mobile Firefox but I'd happily accept a patch if you've tested it. - Rated 5 out of 5by matt, 2 years agoSimple and perfect. But please add the ability to have a keyboard shortcut to activate it like in Google Chrome; it's simple to do, just add this to manifest.json:
"commands": {
"_execute_browser_action": {}
}
}, - Rated 5 out of 5by r0n, 3 years agoIt just works!
Click the button and away with those annoying fixed elements. Click again ... and back they are!
After many attempts with grease-monkey scripts and other add-ons this just works!
The only downside is that the last update is from 2018 ...don't know how long this add-on will keep working I just hope an update will follow when it stops working.
An underrated add-on in in my humble opinion. - Rated 1 out of 5by review, 4 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by David626, 4 years agoI love having this added to my pc browser, it makes getting rid of stuck-on junk a simple task. I used to love it with my Android browser, until Mozilla screwed up a good thing. That's where I used it the most, where screen real estate is at a premium.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Ps, 5 years agoWould be nice to have the option to keep the element blocked every time I visit the page, and to turn it off too
- Rated 5 out of 5by TomLB, 5 years agoEnhance your viewing pleasure and readability for any web page that requires scrolling: news sites, how-to pages, blogs, etc.
Annoying top-menu bars, footers, and side-nags ("like us, share us") are instantly banished. I also use Firefox F9 (reader mode), but often the loss of formatting is too great. This add-on is perfect, retaining text and layout formatting. - Rated 4 out of 5by pelle, 5 years agoThis works well but it's a bit annoying that it requires interaction.
- Rated 5 out of 5by StevieB, 5 years agoGets the job done. Source code is clean and to the point, nothing extraneous or out of the ordinary. Highly recommend this to get rid of annoying web content especially on certain blogging platforms.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15005487, 5 years agoSo useful for making web pages readable, or getting rid of those annoying elements that move with the page as you scroll down.
Thanks Dev. - Rated 5 out of 5by Šime Vidas, 5 years agoVery useful on websites with sticky headers and footers. By hiding those elements, you get more vertical space to read the main content.
- Rated 4 out of 5by donington, 6 years agoThis extension is perfect unless combined with Popup window, which leaves you with no way to click the toolbar icon. If you added a potentially optional right click context menu option this would be a 5 star hands down.
Playing with the two together a little more it's possible to merge the window and activate yours. But as soon as I popup the window again there is a lot of scrolling stutter. This problem goes away if I merge the window again and disable Hide Fixed Elements.
Still think it's awesome - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13965500, 6 years agoPerfect to hide those enormous windows that ask you to turn off adblock so that the adds on their website can redirect you to some shady "you won something" page (or, in alternative, the great "your phone has a virus and you have 25 seconds to download this file, otherwise it will self destruct").

- Rated 5 out of 5by Zsolt007, 6 years agoThe most useful add-on I have ever used in my smart phone browser. Could you please develop it with automatic operation on certain pages?
Some years later :-)
Could you please develop it for android now that the add-ons for android Firefox are available again? - Rated 4 out of 5by 18HopeCSF, 6 years agoIt works really well on the websites where I usually need it. It would be great if the addon could remember certain sites, and also being able to select certains parts of the web. Nice Work!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14111143, 7 years agoWorks great. I've been using a bookmarklet for the same purpose, but this gives me a single button in the toolbar.
Docked one star because it needs:
* keyboard shortcut
* automatic application on page load
But as of June 2018, there are no competing Add-Ons in Firefox that have either of those features. - Rated 5 out of 5by cesalazar, 7 years ago
