The space on top of menu bar is missing

The space on top of menu bar is missing. Tabs are just next to the orange 'Firefox' button.

The space on top of menu bar is missing. Tabs are just next to the orange 'Firefox' button.

Chosen solution

Firefox shows either the Menu bar or the orange Firefox menu button.
If the Firefox window is maximized and the Tab bar is on top then the Tabs are drawn in the title bar.

You can look at these prefs on the about:config page.

  • browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar
  • browser.tabs.onTop

Current Firefox versions only show the "Tabs on Top" menu entry in the "View > Toolbars" menu and in context menus if the tabs aren't in the default position on top.

If the tabs are on top and the menu entry isn't available and you want to move the tabs below the navigation toolbar then you need to flip the browser.tabs.onTop pref to false on the about:config page.

Thank you!

When I toggled browser.tabs.onTop on the about:config page, the space appeared again, the tab bar went down under URL.
