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.
