→completely missing the obvious...
How will this new layout concept address the needs of these users? Are they going to be expected to create another toolbar row to stick their buttons on? Because if that's the case, the browser layout will look worse than it does now, and the design schema has failed before there's ever been a chance to implement it.

My thoughts about this, using some examples:
# AdBlockPlus: How often are you using this red ABP-icon? I never use it. Or only in very rare exceptions. I think it would be okay for me if ABP adds an element in the Tools menu.
# WebDeveloper Toolbar: Can be under the bookmarks, as it ever was.
# NoScript: Okay, now it gets problematic. You often need to temporarily allow websites, 'cause they're bad. To click every time on Page/Tools -> NoScript -> Temporarily allow example.org is not the solution. So NoScript will need to put an icon somewhere on the UI, e.g next the page menu or next the bookmark menu.
# Firebug: That's problematic too. Firebug would need an icon in the UI too.
But [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Projects/3.7_and_4.0_Theme_and_UI_Revamp this document] says that the statusbar will be removed only in FF4, maybe that's a fault in the designs shown on this page?
