Finally I am able to remove Firefox's title bar and make it like Chrome's - inside its own UI.... 😃
Try Firefox's First-Party Isolation - a privacy enhancement (more about it in link below).

Google has introduced a small change to Play Store apps that could significantly protect several Android users. From a report:
Earlier this week, Google quietly rolled out a feature that adds a string of metadata to all APK files (that's the file type for Android apps) when they are signed by the developer. You can't install an application that hasn't been signed during its final build, so that means that all apps built using the latest APK Signature Scheme will have a nice little chunk of DRM built into them. And eventually, your phone will run a version of Android that won't be able to install apps without it.

I'm still waiting...
