User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b4pre) Gecko/20100818 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Minefield/4.0b4pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b4pre) Gecko/20100818 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Minefield/4.0b4pre

The xfwm4 window manager do not integrate well with firefox 4 "tabs on top" layout : top "File, Edit, View, ..." menu is still present. Please see the screenshot linked.

Tested with Xubuntu 10.04 defaut theme, and other themes, with Ubuntu-mozilla-daily PPA.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Firefox 4 beta under Xfce with the Default layout (no cutomizing)
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Tabs aren't on top, the "File, Edit, View, ..." menu is on top

Expected Results:  
the "File, Edit, View, ..." menu should be hidden and is no longer required.

Albatross theme (default Xubuntu theme), but same results with every theme I can test.
I report this bug as major, 'cause this bug break one the most important feature of Firefox 4

This is intentional and not Xfce specific, as per bug 564187.

Hmm, ok, I misunderstood, so, why the menu bar is on by default, and how to remove it ?
