Thanks for the comments. All your suggestions are valid. The browser team have
planned to make theme to be more effective for small screen.

The browser do remember your settings (via the profiles). As long as the
profile
system (~/.mozilla/moblin-web-browser) is not deleted or corrupted by accident.
Or else, please file a bug on bugzilla.moblin.org.
Btw, you could check the about:config values to verify your settings - say, to
hide
the tab bar on single tab, please check whether 'browser.tabs.autoHide' is
'true'.
Or you could set it to true manually. (Prefs are set from about:config which
can
be invoked from the url bar).
To hide the status bar, you could find a localstore.rdf file under your
profiles folder.
Please check whether the hidden attribute is set in the #status-bar xul
element.
<RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#status-bar"
hidden="true" />
There are other options in that file you could hack with. But the standard way
Is to
use the preference dialog.
The small-icon feature is not fully supported. We will improve it in the next
release.
Again, thanks for your feedback.
Regards, Yong
