Hi,
In order to save vertical browsing pixels, it is a good idea to move the tab-bar (when in tabs-on-top mode) to be vertically inline with the new firefox-button.
This saves around 90 pixels of web scrolling and should make pages easier to view. In XUL it could be implimented with CSS similar to this:
[code]
#navigator-toolbox[tabsontop="true"] #TabsToolbar {
    padding-left: 100px !important;
    padding-top:3px !important;
    padding-right:50px !important;
}
[/code]
which basically moves the tab-bar three pixels from the top-window-edge and far enough right not to overlap the button (the pixels entered are estimates.)
Thoughts?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
N/A
Actual Results:  
wasted space at top of window.

Expected Results:  
vertical space effectively used

We only want to do that for maximized windows. All details can be found on bug 572160.
