How to always show menu in Firefox?

  • 772

How do I get the application menu to be placed inside the Firefox window?
I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 and Firefox 12.0.

I like Unity as a whole, but the Mac-style "globalmenu" idea provides bad usability -- especially other users on my computer never find the menu and that prevents them from doing several tasks, like printing.

I've run the command sudo apt-get remove indicator-appmenu to put the menu back into the application window for most applications -- except Firefox.

I've seen that there have been tricks to achieve the reverse, probably with older Firefox versions that didn't support globalmenu yet. Isn't there a similar trick to go the other direction now?
