There are some very interesting ideas here. How about we promise to explore that in Oneiric? As I understand it you want: * fitt's-law-friendly tab switching * prefer tabs-at-the-top to menu's-at-the-top? That's enough to play with for now. Thanks for the report. I would leave it open at low pr

could not* But this doesn't really help us here. If upstream can't that doesn't mean Unity shouldn't or couldn't make use of an improved layout. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/749335 T

I was wrong about the default, Firefox 4 final indeed defaults to the menubar. I could find a rationale for that in this short. I suppose one reason is the level of Window decoration/WM integration needed. At any rate Firefox on Linux lacks the no titlebar maximised mode. Not because the devs pr

Firefox upstream defaults to no menubar in all configurations where that's possible. Just because OS X forces them and Chrome to use it doesn't mean we should copy that particular limitation. The menu button design wins you vertical space: https://lists.launchpad.net/ayatana/msg05330.html -- You

Firefox 4 didn't get rid of the menubar. It put the menubar functionality in to a button on Windows, and provided the option of a button on Linux (the default is still a menubar). The menu button doesn't win us anything in Ubuntu, so we disable the button entirely and put the menu in the panel inst
