Why do you say that Firefox 4 is not as vertical-space efficient as Chrome?

Right click on your tabs, and select 'Tabs on top'. Right click on the Menu bar and uncheck 'Menu bar'. Done--looks like Chrome!

I'm on Linux and I can't find the "tabs on top" option.

EDIT: oh, found it, but my tabs were already on top.

Problem is, Chrome also does away with the title bar.

No, it doesn't look like Chrome. There's still a title bar that Chrome hides in the maximized mode.

It works without problems on WinXP, there is no difference; throughout the beta-versions Firefox incrementally used some minor tweaks of Chrome (for instance, where the link-bar on mouse-hover or the status-information on loading the web-page was displayed). Sad to hear that it does not work on all OSs -- for me it is one of the most important improvements.
