How to reduce menu/title bar screen space in 18.04?

Question

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

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.
