Steps to reproduce:
As of Thunderbird 115, activating the classic menu bar always places it below the toolbar. This seriously messes with 15 years of muscle memory. Please bring back the option to move the menu bar above the toolbars where it belongs.
Expected results:
Expected results are seen in the attached screenshot.

As it is impossible for me to comment on the bug that has been marked as a duplicate, I just want to bring this up here: The argument that "4 million users don't complain" is not valid because the menu bar is not enabled in default installations. I presume that the number of users that actively turn on the menu bar is much smaller than the number of total Thundebrird users.
Second, Thunderbird is pretty much the only program that I have ever seen in my life which doesn't put the menu bar right where it belongs, below the title bar. Why does it belong there? Fitt's law. It is incredibly easy to hit mouse targets that are close to the window screen, and a menu bar right below the title bar is such a target. Moving it closer to the center of the screen makes it very difficult to hit. I would like to see the reasoning that went behind the decision that somehow it is more logical and beneficial to the user that the menu bar is now harder to reach.
