Firefox used to do this really neat thing where you could relocate the menu bar to the Firefox icon in the upper left hand corner of the browser. The menu itself was changed and rearranged as well. All you had to do is click on the Firefox icon in the upper left hand corner of the browser and the menu bar would appear as a menu from that icon at the same time hiding the menu bar. What happened to that feature?

That has never been a built-in feature of Firefox 3.6.* or earlier versions. Firefox 4 will introduce a button that replaces the menu bar, if you had a similar feature in an earlier version of Firefox it would have been added by an extension.

Possible extensions that you may have used are Compact Menu 2 or Tiny Menu.
