Wow, I'm really surprised this wasn't the default already. I guess I
should run TB with a fresh profiles more often.<br>
This sounds like a really easy fix and can be done rather quickly. I
had a bit mixed feeling about the hiding of the menu. This because
my impression was that the apps that hide their menubar was designed
to work without menus and adding the menu back were for the
I-want-it-like-I-always-had-it-since-win95-crowd and that
Thunderbird wasn't one of those.<br>
Upon looking through the menus it seems a lot of the actions are
accessible from other places in the UI however, so I'm less worried
about this change now.<font size="-1"><big><font face="Helvetica,

I agree with hiding the tabs by default. It makes more sense in
Firefox as that is more tab focused and allows you to add new empty
tabs on the fly. As long as we can figure out where to put the
filter bar (obvious place is main toolbar) it should be all right.<br>
Yay for killing pixels!<br>
