Hardly making it uncomplicated.   The pictures still waste so much space
that  they could have everything they always had  in the same  amount of
space.    But more to the point if they want to provide more space to the
web page then add the option as to which toolbars will appear once one
mouses above the tabs bar if it were to remain where it is now, and then
those toolbars disappear again on any click within the page or page up/down
or scrolling.  Just like some of the extensions (and styles).

It seems that they like the (Microsoft) Office Ribbon maybe it's easier to program, but
it  is impossible for Excel users to add things to the menu and navigate 
comfortably so much so that there is no widespread adoption of Office 2007
by  existing users.  Especially not by those who customize things and had macros.

Customers did not buy into it, but will be forced into upgrading.   Yet Mozilla
seems to be buying into it.
