I am not able to view the default view of FF 4.0, It is showing menu bar with the windows border. When i turn off menu bar, the strip which should be present above the tabs goes missing.

I have recently downloaded FF 4.0 and using a lot of add-ons. I am not able to view the default view of FF 4.0 with no menu bar. Even after turning off the menu bar from customization, I am able to see only the tabs and FF button, but not the strip over the tabs.

When you hide the menu bar to display the Firefox button, the titlebar (strip above the tabs) is only displayed if the Firefox window is not maximized. If you always want the Window titlebar, you can use the Firefox 4 UI Fixer extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-4-ui-fixer

Thanks TonyE, but actually I was no talking about the windows titlebar. I was talking about a blank strip which should come beside FF button. This strip is not present. I am attaching screenshot of how my FF looks on hiding menubar.

Firefox does not have a blank strip, could you possibly have had a blank toolbar? Try right-clicking on a toolbar, then for example if you had a blank bookmarks toolbar clicking on "Bookmarks Toolbar" will re-display it. You can try that with other toolbars.
