I just upgraded to Firefox 8, from Firefox 3, and am trying to make the UI work for me. I mostly got it working again, but I have not been able to remove an extra line of blank space that is driving me crazy.

I am showing the menu bar, and have unchecked Taps on Top. However between the address bar and the tabs there is 1) dark blue spacing and 2) a lighter blue spacing bar. I would like to get rid of the second one. Together that is just too much space wasted.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
