What feature should be changed? Please provide the URL of the feature if possible. ================================================================================== Firefox 57 copies Chrome and puts the "Menu" items inside a hamburger icon at the top right of the window (this is a mistake, in my opinion, but whatever). Luckily I can still go to View -> Toolbars -> Menu Bar and use the Menu Bar like I always have. The problem is that when I do this, the hamburger icon is still there in the top right. It's useless to me/I will never click it; I have the Menu bar at the top of the screen. So I shouldn't see the hamburger menu/icon anymore while the Menu bar is active. What problems would this solve? =============================== This solves the duplication of menu items and doesn't show the hamburger icon when it's not needed. Who would use this? =================== Everyone who decides to show the Menu toolbar (File, Edit, View, History, etc.) below the Title bar. What would users see? ===================== More space in their search and address bar, or more space for custom add-on icons that they actually use. What would users do? What would happen as a result? =================================================== N/A Is there anything else we should know? ======================================

We use the Firefox menu to show notifications such as add-on permission updates and update-restart-needed notices. Hiding the Firefox menu button when the menubar is enabled would make those notifications inaccessible.

Don't take the cheap way out, please.
