Mine doesn't. It does show the tab bar.

I did. It didn't.  The addon didn't seem to self-install, I ran it and it 
just unzipped to some folders. I manually moved their contents to the 
similar folders in firefox, but not sure if I got that right.  Do you have 
to go through all that hassle with all its addons?  I'd expect them to be 
self-installing. I couldn't find any instructions on the addons page about 
installing them.

Overall, I must say I'm very underwhelmed with Firefox and will probably 
trash it, despite its enthusiastic following and its speed.

Nor do I care for its method of installing all its data into my C-Drive, 
which I keep for the OS only. I've always thought that's bad programming. 
Maybe there's a reason.

I did manage to get the tabs bar moved, so that's one success out of 3. The 
other problems seem to be intractable.
Perhaps my system (XP SP2) or my security settings do not suit it.
