We're on the same track and I appreciate your work in this area. Like you I
was an IE6 user who became disenchanted with the loss of user
customizability in IE7-IE8, enough so that I switched to Firefox after I
discovered it can emulate the IE6 layout.

userchrome.css tweaks or special themes aren't necessary for Firefox 3.6.x
to provide a browser screen layout like IE6. The Location Bar and Search Bar
(if desired) can be dragged to the Menu Bar along with basic control icons.
No other toolbars are necessary.

I was a happy camper til Firefox 4 was released, departing drastically from
that layout and killing the user customizability. Something special was
required to return Firefox 4+ to that layout, either a theme or chrome file
tweaks, or both. So far I'm using the theme method with Firefox 6.0.1 and
find that "Firefox 3 theme for Firefox 4+" works nicely. I *do* want the
Menu Bar. Here's how the top of my display looks in Firefox 6.0.1:

(looks exactly the same as Firefox 3.6.x)

With either version I prefer that tabs only appear if more than one website
is opened simultaneously.

I forgot. I've made a few inprovements to the Location (URL) Bar with
userchrome.css file tweaks:

/* Remove unimportant Location Bar Icon Text (from Bob)
-- click on the favicon to see information
-- http://eriwen.com/firefox/use-the-dom-inspector/
-- Firefox 4.0+ again respects browser.identity.ssl_domain_display set to
0 */
#identity-icon-label { display: none !important; }

/* Turn Location Bar Yellow for HTTPS */
#urlbar[level] .autocomplete-textbox-container { background-color: #FFFFB7
!important; }

/* remove that bookmark star on the right side of the URL bar */
#star-button { display: none; }
