After upgrade to 8.0.1, F6 no longer activates location bar
Just upgraded earlier today (from v3, been awhile) and already miss previous behavior . . . where striking F6 would highlight the location bar. Now the only way I can get there is with the mouse. I'm guessing eliminating the "tabs on top" feature would be worth a shot, but on the XP (SP3) machine I'm running I can't find how to do this.
If I want this functionality back do I need to roll back the upgrade, or can I get there in the current version?
Thanks -

Not sure I remember F6 as highlighting the location bar, but
- Cltrl +L or Alt D move focus to the location bar.
To stop tabs on top in XP from the toolbar menu use
- View -> Toolbars -> [] tabs on top (un tick the check )
- see Common questions after upgrading from Firefox 3.6_why-are-tabs-on-top-of-the-location-bar-now
(I also use XP sp3) Hopefully my answers solves the problem without you needing to downgrade.
- if you do downgrade it is recommended it is to firefox 3.6, although that should not be necessary

I'm doubly embarrassed. I'd looked through the Keyboard Shortcuts page before posting, and didn't find the location bar ones, but there they are today . . . and the "tabs on top" page I'd found was long on why it was done and short on how to fix it.
In my case unchecking the Tabs on Top box forced Firefox' behavior back to what I was used to. Thanks for the quick response!
Glad to have helped.
