How can I keep the menu bar showing ALL the time instead of hovering the mice on top of it to get it to show? What were they (UBUNTU) thinking ???
I prefer to see the menu bar at the top of the screen of whatever program I am using instead of a repetition of the title of the page that I am on. I know I can get the menu bar by hovering the mouse at the very top but it is a little annoying. If the trade off was more screen space, then get rid of the damn title of the program or web page that I am on. OR give me the option to choose. Keep it simple stupid. Thanks.

In case Ubuntu installed some extensions by default, you can try to disable those.
It is a Ubuntu problem, not Firefox, as it happens with all apps.
cor-el is right: Ubuntu installs its own tweaks, such as xul-ext-ubufox. I don't have Unity and associated problems, but there are 3 obvious solutions that may help:
- Try to toggle "ui.use_unity_menubar" variable in config.
- Try to disable "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications" plugin.
- Go for the root of this problem and try to use some window manager designed as actually usable rather than as Apple fanboys' wet dream. For example, XFCE (install xubuntu-desktop package, choose "Xubuntu session" at your next login). ;]
