When enabled auto hide Menu Bar and Tabs over the Navigation Toolbar,
I toggle menubar by ALT key,

*Menu Bar appears on top of Tab bar and at the bottom of Tab Bar .

Menu Bar position  should be same position in existing window and new window.

Reproducible: Always

1. Start Minefield with new profile
2. View > Toolbars > "Tabs on Top" checked 
    *Confirm position of Menubar --- Menu Bar is at the BELLOW of Tab Bar.
3. View > Toolbars > "Menu Bar" unchecked
4. Toggle mentbar by ALT key,
     *Confirm position of Menubar. --- Menu Bar is on the TOP of Tab Bar.
5. File > New Window (CTRL +N)
6. Toggle mentbar by alt key in new window,
     *Confirm position of Menubar.--- Menu Bar is at the BELLOW of Tab Bar.
7. View > Toolbars > "Menu Bar" checked
    *Confirm position of Menubar. --- Menu Bar is on the TOP of Tab Bar.

Actual Results:

 Menu bar position  is random.

Expected Results:

I can confirm this.

May be this is not the right place to say it, but IMO tabs should always be _under_ menu bar.

Well, with the option integrated, it's now up to the individual user to decide, no matter what you prefer. And no, this is not the right place to discuss this. Try the newsgroups.

I can confirm this as well. 

I don't believe that this should be user preference. The menubar does not change from tab-to-tab and therefore should not be moveable. This is also windows standard.

Requesting blocking as this is very annoying and gives a very unpolished look and feel with the toolbars jumping around randomly.

Comment 7

[pal-moz]

is this fixed by bug 564187 ?

Comment 8

[Dão Gottwald [:dao]]

The underlying issue remains.

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-4, no longer working on Mozilla)]

In what part of the code would you expect the underlying issue to be?  Why is this a Core bug rather than a Firefox bug?  How does the Firefox code move the toolbars/menubars around?

I'm not sure why the position was random prior to bug 564187 (the menu bar should always have been below the tab bar), but it wasn't caused by Firefox, and I expect this to be related to bug 555987.

Oops...

Bumping this to beta2 per beta re-triage with dbaron.  If this should indeed block beta1, please re-nom.

Can we get this assigned?

We need to test if bug 555987 solved this -- probably by backing out attachment 443880 [details] [diff] [review] locally, since we don't have a reduced testcase.

[[not reading bugmail]]

I tested on the most recently night, following the STR it looks fixed.  Menu Bar stays above Tabs On Top when using Autohide in the same window and in a new window.

Bug 564187 masked this, so testing in a vanilla nightly isn't useful.

Comment 17

[Dão Gottwald [:dao]]

I reverted attachment 443880 [details] [diff] [review] and couldn't reproduce the bug.
