@Radko,

I too decided to disable Global Menu Integration. If you then go to the
View menu in Firefox and turn off the Menu Bar you'll get a look that is
almost identical to what you get with with Global Menu enabled. The only
difference is a pulldown in the upper right with all the menu controls in
it. I'll attach a screen shot.
