Not doing all that much.

bash -x ~/.local/bin/hide-firefox-titlebar.sh
+++ xdotool search --onlyvisible --class 'Firefox|Nightly'
++ for i in $(xdotool search --onlyvisible --class "Firefox|Nightly")
++ echo 'GdkX11.X11Window.foreign_new_for_display(default_display, 127926289).set_decorations(Gdk.WMDecoration.BORDER);'
+ python3 -c 'import gi; gi.require_version('\''Gdk'\'', '\''3.0'\''); from gi.repository import Gdk, GdkX11;
default_display=GdkX11.X11Display.get_default();
GdkX11.X11Window.foreign_new_for_display(default_display, 127926289).set_decorations(Gdk.WMDecoration.BORDER);
Gdk.Window.process_all_updates();'

Is this project still active?

PSA: Anyone looking for this feature, before trying this script check if you have the option to disable the title bar down in the lower left corner of the firefox customization screen.

Right click Menu Button > Customize > Uncheck "Title Bar"

Yes, don't forget to uncheck that option after everything is installed.
In my case (manjaro deepin, ffox 72) I still preserve window control buttons (minimize, etc)

I needed to remove title bar because my habit to open links just dragging them "to the top" without have to aim anywhere and to search dragged text from url bar
.
Thanks!!

照着安装以后,titlebar没有隐藏,会不会和虚拟机有关?

There is a problem with this solution -- it removes bars from all ff windows you have open, including other profiles which may not have this extension and thus deleting is unwanted

I don't remember the last time I used to need this. Modern Firefox can apply that from "Personalize taskbar" option, which is called "hide taskbar". It works as expected.
