I am using Ubuntu 18.04. I realize with GNOME, or its extensions, I can do things like hide the title bar. However, I want to hide the title bar and still see the windows management icons like on Mac OS and Windows.
Is this possible?

Log in with Unity 2D, open ccsm (Compiz config settings manager) or download it with sudo apt-get install ccsm and go to Preferences at the bottom and choose Reset to defaults and then choose Unity from the list. Then you can log in into Unity 3D (the normal one) and everything works :)
I had this error today too and that worked for me.
Notice: Probably you have to log in with Unity 3D to change the settings, I am not totally sure anymore. But give both a try ;)
Thanks to Ryan McClure for this addition:
If by any chance Unity 2D has the same issue (it happened to me once before, so I can relate :P) and neither shell does not allow you to open terminal, press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to open a TTY session. From here, enter your username and password and continue to do the commands thonixx gave you.
I wrote a small script, which changes this option:
#!/bin/sh
if $(gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons);
then new="false";
else new="true";
fi
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons $new
You can save the script /somewhere/as/somewaht.sh (with permission to execute) and then add in your keyboardsettings an entry:

Firefox version 60 comes with an inbuilt client-side decoration (CSD) option which gets rid of the title bar but keeps the window control buttons (minimise, maximise, close).
If you have Firefox 60, go to "Customise" screen and disable "Title Bar" option at the bottom.
Then you should see something like this:
As a side note, the pointy white corners that appear after turning off the 'Title Bar' option, can be removed by the following steps:
