Sorry... Windows XP, classic theme here (good old grey and blue and no stupid transparencies a'la Aero). Titlebar is on top, then come File| Edit|View|History|Bookmarks|Tools|Help etc. If you have difficulties aiming for the tabs, you need stronger glasses or more accurate mouse or steadier hand or combination of these :) Tabs on bottom works for me perfect.
