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.
