According to the screens it breaks the intended feature that URL/Search 
bar is inside Tabs (which was made by Firefox project Australis). It 
reverts this feature back and Firefox looks more like gedit which is 
IMHO confusing. Also breaks FF light themes (Persona formerly).

No, it is not. But it would provide extra maintenance cost when the 
theme needs to be updated/checked/tested with every new FF release when 
it's default.
