Hello,

I just want to report a minor visual inconsistency in the new Firefox. When "Tabs on top" is enabled:

  • If you "Maximize" the browser, tabs are shown on the same vertical as the orange Firefox menu. This conserves space and works well.
  • If you do not "Maximize" the browser, tabs are shown BELOW the orange Firefox button, wasting an entire row of usable space.

I think that the tab behavior in Maximized mode should be implemented in windowed mode. Here are two screenshots:

Sorry, that's the way Tabs on Top works with Firefox 4.0.

Awesome extension, ps_ttf! It screws up the UI a bit when there are no tabs open, but I usually have several open at once so this is very minor.

I hope Mozilla sees this and implements it in the next version of Firefox!
