User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b11) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b11) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b11

Firefox button should be default on Windows XP. Opera also has that behavior and Google Chrome follows with a one-button menu that can be accessed by clicking "Wrench icon". Mozilla believes that Windows XP should have a menubar. Who changed Opera's view of thinking? Their intelligence. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just install Firefox 4 on Windows XP. That's it.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Firefox displays Menu bar on Windows XP by default.

Expected Results:  
It should display the Firefox button as on Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Hey, what do you mean??? Do you mean I am wrong that Firefox button should be default on Windows XP??? I am advising Mozilla to go at the right path. See, Internet Explorer 9 and Google Chrome have a clear "Tools" menu(if not a button)and Opera has a default button. Mozilla should take advantage that IE 9 is not available for Windows XP. Firefox should provide features of IE 9 to Windows XP users. Chrome has a clear "tools" menu and Opera has a button. But Firefox on Windows XP, it has a very unorganized menu by DEFAULT. Also if Firefox button is not there on WinXP, users will not know of Firefox 4's tabs-on-titlebar feature. Thus, users will think that Chrome and Opera are only browsers that provide tabs-on titlebar and also a "NEAT" menu. Firefox would lose it's market share among Windows XP users.
