I certainly agree about the bookmarks toolbar, which is my main way to 
run everything.  My interface is minimal, but I could certainly go with 
recovering that Windows title bar space for better use.  As long as they 
preserve the ability to customize the interface any way I want, I don't 
really care that much, but I STILL contend that Firefox should have a 
basic 'trademark' interface, rather than copying IE, or Chrome, as they 
appear to intend.
