Tor Browser win8 theme regressions

In Tails 1.2 two unintended changes were introduced in the Tor Browser win8 theme:

  • The tab bar isn’t on the right of the URL bad any more, but above it
  • The search bar is enabled

This was when we moved from a Tor Browser based on Firefox 24 to Firefox 31, which changed the tab bar and UI significantly (or some intermediate Firefox version did). In FF24 the tab bar could be moved through the normal customization, but I’m unsure if it’s at all possible any more in FF31+ without extensions. Disabling the search bar can easily be done like it was for the I2P Browser (config/chroot_local-includes/usr/share/tails/i2p-browser/userChrome.css).

This issue affects the “normal” Tor Browser as well as the chroot browsers.
