I'm using upstream version 32.0 of firefox and I agree with Thomas. I 
don't like the chrome aspect, nor do I like them copying Microsoft and 
removing the menus unless the alt key is pressed. I've also been unable 
to find any way of reversing that menu functionality in the preferences 
configuration, does the oxygen-kde addon restore the non-hidden menu 
functionality?
