First, you will want to right-click on the Navigation Toolbar.  Next, select or un-select the "Tabs on Top" option.  When you do so, the tabs will either switch back to the top of the website viewing area or to the top of the window. 

So no matter if you are more of a traditionalist (and enjoy your tabs in the old location) or you are ready for new and exciting things (and want to put your tabs on top) there is an option for both in Firefox 4.

Tired of seeing your tabs under your navigation or bookmark toolbars? Maybe you just want to see how Firefox would look with tabs on the top?  With the Firefox extension, Tabs on Top – you can easily move your browser tabs to the top of the screen.

Once this add-on for Firefox is installed, your tab bar will work more like its Chrome browser cousin from Google.  Also, if you have TabMixPlus – you can use the multi row feature to have multiple rows of tabs across the top of the Firefox browser window.

You can pick up the Tabs on Top add-on for Firefox on the official Firefox Add-ons web site.

1. Shrink Your Main Menu Bar!

Install the Tiny Menu extension to shrink your main menu navigation. This extension replace the standard menu bar with a tiny menu popup.

2. Toss Out the Firefox Throbber!

Ditch the throbber in the upper right hand corner. Each tab has a built in throbber to let you know when a Web page is loading, this main one is not needed anymore. Get rid of it and give yourself some more space.

3. Use Small Icons to Save Space!

Use small icons on your toolbars. To do that, you can right click on the navigation toolbar and click “Customize”. At the bottom of that popup you should see a check mark box for “Use Small Icons”. While you are there you can drag away or add any items you think you might need or never use at all. Personally, I have back, forward, refresh, stop, home, and downloads there.

Any other suggestions for a more organized and clutter free toolbar?
