The "Command bar" option gives the options on the right, and the menu bar stays visible after that reg hack (hopefully MS will fix that ) Picture of options (www.imagef1.net.nz) Someone a lot smarter than me figured out the reg hack to make it work. There are some very clever people around as I remember using a lot of registry hacks over the years from those clever ones.	mikebartnz (21)
1137589	2010-09-19 15:53:00	Is there anything to allow the Address bar to be on a DIFFERENT line to the Tabs? I frequently open in excess of 50 tabs, and having about 2 inches to work with is just stupid. Not everyone has a 500" widescreen monitor, and even if they did, it's still a stupid design.

You can always send feedback and if enough people complain they may change the location ( or at least give the option to). To send feedback, click on the cog/wheel on the top right, click send feedback. One feature it now has is the "tear away tabs" - Same as Chrome + if you go to particular site all the time, you can pin that site(s) to the task-bar, bit like a favorite, it opens IE via a jump list directly to the site - so you can have multi sites directly. I opened 30 sites (new tabs) and they simply stacked beside one another with a left and right arrow to scroll. The address window stayed the same size.	wainuitech (129)

Lucky me, I got some weird error (And yes, I am trying it on Win 7, not XP) I opened 30 sites (new tabs) and they simply stacked beside one another with a left and right arrow to scroll. The address window stayed the same size. But they would have been rather small? Can one scroll through the tabs with the scroll wheel like in Firefox?	Agent_24 (57)
1137594	2010-09-20 01:00:00	But they would have been rather small? Can one scroll through the tabs with the scroll wheel like in Firefox? yep they were small, but so would that many open tabs on any browser. As for "tab Scrolling via mouse" on FF, That had me looking :nerd: Seems you have to have "Tab mix Plus" installed (an Add in) then it allows scrolling of the tabs via the mouse. By default FF doesn't have that. So IE wont as well, once again, send in a report and maybe MS will add it if enough people request it. keep in mind there are a lot of Addins for FF and other browsers, so every feature wont be in IE9. But what FF & IE have is browsing tabs Via ctrl+ Key/tab number, that scrolls/opens the tab you select. Eg: if you have 5 tabs open, and press ctrl+3 it opens/switches to Tab #3	wainuitech (129)

By default FF doesn't have that. Well, in Firefox I can open 10 tabs before they get 'too small' (not really an issue, as you say, all browsers will do it) But, in the new IE9, I imagine I would only get 3 the same size due to the address bar being in the way. I'm running Firefox 3.6.8 without Tab Mix Plus and I can scroll the tabs along with the mouse. You might be mistaking scrolling through each individual tab with scrolling the whole lot side-to-side when there are too many to fit on the screen? (I probably should have worded my original question differently)	Agent_24 (57)
