Set the value to false. It will persist thorough browser close and reopen. Probably still not what FF 56 and older users are looking for, but a twist on F11.
I have all my maximized application's titlebars hidden with the xfce4-windowck-plugin. It requires that you also go into the Window Manager Tweaks/Accessiblity settings and enable "hide window titles when maximized".

We quit providing firefox-esr because debian is already doing that so the effort would be redundant.
firefox-esr-52.5.2 is currently available directly from debian stretch/stable.
