To get the new interface you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry. If you had applied customizations to the menu bar whilst using Firefox 3.6, the new version would by default use the old interface.

If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.
