Chrome Move Tabs Below Address Bar
Mozilla has decided that tabs will appear above the address bar by default in Firefox 4.0. The tab positioning debate has raged for years, but the organization has determined that on-top is the most logical arrangement.Until now, the browser vendors have been fairly evenly split.

Tab-based UI: Firefox 4.0 will show windows such as downloads and the bookmarks organizer in tabs. It makes no sense to have the address bar and other controls visible. Notifications: some error and warning messages now appear below the address bar.I’m sure Chrome and Opera also influenced their thinking.The downside is the increased mouse distance to the tabs. However, it’s possibly easier to select tabs at the top of a window which is positioned at the screen edge.Mozilla has asked for feedback and is undertaking usability testing.
