[FF4.0] If I uncheck Menu Bar (R click top area) the title in the title bar at the top of window also disappears. IE9 just has a blank title bar! What's with the losing of the title bar? It's actually useful...

Are you running Firefox in maximized mode?

You can set the pref browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar to false on the about:config page.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Yup that does it, thanks!

Seems very silly an extension is needed though. I'll never understand why software isn't just fully customizable, to the extent possible. Make everyone happy, I say. A bit extra testing needed, sure. But something this easy? Come on...
