How do I get rid of title bar?
When I installed Firefox on my new Windows 8 computer, I got a style in which there is no title bar. The tabs are up there with an orange Firefox button at the left. It provides access to the menu items. I like that. However, I wanted the function of my profile on a Windows 7 machine. (Lots of stuff in there.) When I installed that, it put me back in a situation where there is a title bar unnecessarily wasting some vertical screen space. In that Windows 7 profile, I was using the Tiny Menu addon to compress the menu items onto a single button. It is on a line with the Location bar and the search bar. The tabs are below. I cannot figure out what to tweak in the profile from my Windows 7 to get to the appearance I like in the Windows 8 install.
I tried the advice here: http://www.squidoo.com/hide-firefox-title-bar I don't see any Tabs on Top setting, and browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar is already set to true. When I disable the Menu toolbar, the title bar goes away and the tabs are up there with the orange Firefox button; however, I lose the Location bar and the search bar altogether.
There's got to be a way to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

Does the Navigation Toolbar has a checkmark if you right-click empty space on the Tab bar?
Does it has any effect if you open a new window?
You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

- Disable or remove Tiny Menu and all other extensions you may have that tamper with the menu bar or other toolbars. Be sure to restart Firefox when prompted.
- Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
- Click the Restore Default Set button.
- Click the Done button.
- Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and make sure "Menu Bar" is not checked.
Go to the
Mozilla Add-ons Web Page
(There’s a lot of good stuff here).
There are many great add-ons that can do that and more.
For example; Hide Add-on-Bar-Close-Button, None-button
Remove new Firefox menu button leaving only the menu arrow,
Tabs Always In Titlebar
Move tabs into the titlebar in a normal (restored) window.
Vertical Toolbar
Adds a vertical toolbar at the edge of the window.
and many many more.
Regarding disabling Tiny Menu, I did test with that disabled and several other addons (Tab Mix Plus for one) that I thought might interfere. No joy! I should have mentioned that. Sorry.
Regarding additional addons, that does not make a whole lot of sense. If the Location Bar and search Bar are disappearing, something is wrong with my configuration. I am trying to find out what that is so I can fix it.
Something very weird is going on. I achieved a brief success as follows:
Not sure exactly what did it. With Task Bar Plus, Stylish, All-in-One Sidebar, and the bookmarks toolbar disabled, I did do that reset to defaults for the toolbar. I had skipped that earlier because I did not see how it was going to affect the tab bar and my toolbar configuration (with All-in-one Side Bar) is fairly complicated. However, I was getting desperate. It still did not solve the problem directly. However, when I enabled the Navigation Bar, success! The odd thing is that I had fiddled with enabling the Navigation bar on multiple previous occasions with no luck; so I am still not sure exactly what happened. I thought the problem was solved. But it was not:
Then I started experimenting to figure out what had been causing it. I enabled all those things (except the bookmarks bar). It stopped working. I disabled Tab Mix Plus, and I got a brief success at the first instant when I enabled the Navigation bar. Then I restarted Firefox, and it did not work then or after any subsequent restart. I have gone so far as to restart in safe mode with all addons disabled. It still does not work right. I go back to the profile from the Windows 8 install, and all is well again.
What is going on? I may have to give up and further develop the profile from Windows 8 to come closer to the function I had in Windows 7; but I dread that process.

Deleting localstore.rdf fixed it.
