How do I set the tab bar to be besides the Fx menu button when Fx' window is maximized? (v12 installer changed my UI layout)

How do I set the tab bar to be besides the Firefox menu button when Firefox' window is maximized?

I.e. How do I set this: http://i.imgur.com/Mkyvz.png to be like this: http://i.imgur.com/ZvxJS.png ?

This happens on Firefox Portable v12. Its tab bar layout changed when I upgraded to Firefox 12 from 11 through the Fx Portable installer.

This happens even when Firefox' window is maximized. I tried customizing the toolbar but can't seem to find the proper arrangement.

Steps I already tried (but didn't work):
Toggling the restore/maximize Window button

Firefox > Options > Untick then retick 'Tabs On Top' (also tried restarting Firefox between the toggling)

Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout > Restore Default Set (also tried restarting Fx after toggling)

I also tried checking what "browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar" in about:config is set to. It is already set to 'true'.

Edit:
I found the culprit. It seems to be an issue with an extension - uninstalling the All-In-One Sidebar extension before upgrading to Firefox 12 Portable, and then installing it again after worked. What's weird is I have the same extension (with the same configuration) on two non-Portable copies of Firefox 12 in two different computers and they didn't mess up the toolbar.

I modify userChrome.css

The best way that I found several versions back was to modify the userChrome.css. You may have to snag the userChrome-example.css and rename it userChrome.css to actually activate it. Here's my modified userChrome.css. Sorry for the long post...

Oh... you'll have to un-do the transparencies and changed Firefox button appearance if you don't like them this way. Also, I never maximize the window, so this doesn't work perfectly under those circumstances. There's a way to fix that, but I never worried about it.

My Fx window is always maximized. Got other solutions?

Make adjustments

That was supposed to give you ideas about how you could do it yourself. There were comments in the code to help.

You could adjust the offsets to work with your preferences, or possibly install a userstyle such as:

http://userstyles.org/styles/33391/firefox-4-beta-1

I don't install stylish (which they want you to do) to use the code, but instead use the "show code" button and either learn from it, or copy it to plant sections into my own userChrome.css.

The beauty of this is that you aren't using extensions, add-ons or whatever.

Remember to restart Firefox to activate changes in userChrome.css.

Oh, and have fun! You'll be amazed in what you can learn very quickly.

Pre tags

J Neutron:

Please enclose your userChrome.CSS code in tags.

A few things to try: Right

A few things to try:

  • Right click anywhere around your back/forward buttons. Toggle the "Menu Bar" setting.
  • Try the Default 12.0 theme if you are using a different theme.
  • Go through your add-ons one-by-one and disable any that may change toolbar layout, add buttons, etc.
