Bug Description

On Xubuntu/desktop 16.10
- Menu bar appears on indicator
- Menu bar cannot be enabled in customize

This is a deal breaker. One of the main reasons why I use Firefox rather than Chrome on Linux is the menu bar.

Should I use Chrome instead?

Found the solution:

about:config
ui.use_unity_menubar=false

Who thought it was a good idea to enable it by default?
