No they didn't do it because they couldn't figure out how to do it without it being a mess. Apparently they never figured out how to do it because this new design just completely gets rid of the background tabs, which I suppose "fixes" the problem of how to support overlapping tabs while maintaining transparency for Glass and Personas.

Please take a moment to fine the old mockups and compare them. Other than the blue gradient and the Back button, virtually everything about this theme is different from the Firefox 4 mockups.

This could be a win considering it would be moveable. Although now the question of the validity of keeping the titlebar when not in fullscreen mode becomes moot. It's basically just a big empty mouse drag target.
