Firefox 4 may be getting tabs in title bar option
So much for Firefox 4 already being feature-frozen! It now looks as though several additional changes may land before the final release of Firefox 4 lands in early 2011. Among them: tabs in the title bar.
As with Google Chrome, your tabs will only move to the topmost area of the window when maximized. The feature has yet to be delivered to the Firefox 4 nightly builds, but you can download experimental versions from developer Bill Gianopoulos. Windows and Linux versions are available at the moment. Gianopoulos states "These builds are essentially the same as the corresponding Official Trunk Nightly Builds" but notes that his builds include "not yet landed fixes for some MathML issues, and User Interface changes planned for Firefox 4, as well as bugs that I am currently working on or find particularly annoying."

Good! I can't believe they haven't done that already. Those pixels really make a huge difference on a netbook screen.

Tabs in the title bar was always going to be a feature of firefox 4, its Bug 572160 in bugzilla.

If you don't want to install an experimental unofficial build you can always use a user style with stylish to get the same result, tabs in the title bar when maximized and under the title bar when un-maximized, like Chrome and Opera.
With the tabs in the title bar and using small icons Firefox 4 takes the least space on screen

They will give it as an option ( Tabs on Title Bar )? Like "Tabs on Top" or it will be standard?
I hope as an option. We'll loose tab space from Menu and Caption Buttons. I don't mind at all as is but I understand all those who care. So an option could be ideal.
