The tabs in Firefox 4 are hiding my browser themes. Can they be placed UNDER the address bar like it was in Firefox 3?

Firefox 4 has placed the tabs above the address bar rather than below it (like it was in previous versions) and the tabs are blocking and hiding my browser themes. Is there a way to move the tabs UNDER the address bar? I love being able to personalize my browser with various themes but if I can't see them, then the purpose of Personas is defeated. Also, I think navigating between tabs is much easier than being at the top of the browser window. The address bar should be at the top, not the tabs.

Right-click on a toolbar, then click on the "Tabs on Top" entry to de-select it.

What difference does it really make? I have mostly black background on my theme. When theme is enabled, it makes it almost impossible to see the black text on the tabs. I doubt there is any way to change the text color on the tabs, or to move the tabs below the theme area. Older tab bar was transparent, but had it's own background. You could see your theme and still read your tabs. Any way to fix that?
