It would be better to let the user choose if he wants a other layout especially in the case of this tabs-on-top crap. Some people work the whole day with the browser and if the UI changes there will be a break in the daily routines of working. For some people the "stop-loading" button is essential. I hope the whole tab-on-top story get an overthinking maybe in favour of a more flexible theming system which allows a user to set his favourite layout of the browser window . 1 November 2009

== Thinking over ==
Maybe it would be a good idea to think over thinking over.
Some users happily use a menu-bar-hiding addon, others like s single custumizable menue entry, some are missing horizontal lines between bars, some would miss vertical rulers separating groups of buttons, some would be glad to chose if/where a "reload" and/or "stop" button appears, some would really want to keep their chosen favorite theme unchanged, some beleive "Tabs-to-Top" being the worst idea ever, some would be very unhappy without a status bar, etc.
Therefore IMHO it would be a wonderfull idea to import all the fine new changes as '''options''' for a more customizable Firefox that lets you choose where to have which bar, which style of seperators, buttons and colours, etc.
Less wonderfull would be that famous "''take it or leave it''" mentality already to be found on other widely-spread browsers - for some users Firefox would stop being an alternative then.
