Please revise to include option to put TABS below the bookmark toolbar.

For FF release 123.0.1 with Windows 11 this seems to work:
. . into one 'userChrome.css' file. The second hacks the first to put menubar at top, while still putting tabs where they belong, below all the window top-located bars.

It worked, but something is still wrong. The min/max/close buttons are invisible now 😏

Restore tabs on bottom as an option

Many users want to place tabs on the bottom, but Mozilla removed this option years ago, and continues to break the workarounds that users have made. People who used to be able to check a box in the settings now have to search the web for third-party CSS mods, struggle with confusing and opaque program files, and paste in code that we don't understand. If we can even manage to get it to work, you can be sure Mozilla will push out an update that breaks it again. That means we have to avoid ever updating the browser, which becomes a security and stability issue. I switched to Firefox because it used to allow me to configure it in a way that's comfortable for me, but now the devs actively squash any customization.

Look. I will pay money for the tabs on bottom option to be restored as a stock option. Reach out to me with a number. I don't care if you put it in about:config, I'm just exhausted of trying to wrestle with CSS. I'm not a programmer, I just want the tabs on the bottom. If hobbyists on Reddit can write the code in their free time, I don't believe for a second that you cannot do it on the clock. Send me a number.

@Agentvirtuel that's not the point we know this code out there but there used to be a setting that would allow the user just to go in and take a box in the settings and do it we shouldn't have to search down new code every time Firefox updates they need to just bring that setting back where it will allow people to add the tabs on the bottom without having to mess with code we all know that's possible if it's used to be in the settings so we didn't have to mess with the code

Tabs Under bookmark bar

Hey,

is there a way to implement a feature in Firefox to put the tabs back at the bottom of the bookmarks bar? Back when tabs on top was rolled out back in 2011 there was an option to move it back to the bottom. Can you role out an update where we can chose to have the tabs at the bottom or the top of the window

I've been asking for this for years, seems Mozilla intentionally turns a deaf ear to this request over and over.  For now I just have to keep hacking the userchrome file every time they break it.  Someone on the Mozilla team really has a "my way or the highway" attitude on this particular request.

NOT to put the tabs under the address bar, I want the tabs and the address bar to be at the bottom of my screen. So when firefox is open on my Windows 11 PC screen I want the tabs and address bar to sit right on top of my windows Taskbar. I was able to do it until about 6 months ago, then an update broke the code I found online. As a developer myself and learning in school even that UI is huge for a user friendly design that people would love. Well I dont understand the point of having tabs and ANY input/search bars etc at the top of the screen, Its a continuous finger to the top of my screen, oh then to the bottom of my screen to type, oh and a straight back and forth workout. LAME. That is NOT a great UI design. Its the same as searching google and all the results are to the far left side..OMG that **bleep** annoys me, my neck has a permanent left kink/twist from having to just slightly turn to the left to stare at results. Now DuckDuckGo got this **bleep** right, in their settings you can do a thing called CENTER search results. OMG someone with a brain, give that developer a big bonus.

This is part of a pattern that also includes breaking the Downloads window, breaking the ability to have multi-row bookmarks, breaking the legacy extensions, and beginning selling user-data. Eating with just a knife sucks so thank god for forks.

This feature of placing tabs at the bottom should definitely be added. Many users prefer having tabs at the bottom for better usability, especially those who frequently switch between tabs. It's more intuitive and efficient for many workflows. Adding this option in the settings would enhance customization and cater to different user preferences, improving the overall browsing experience. Please consider implementing this feature to accommodate the diverse needs of Firefox users.

I agree!!!

Please, please, please let me move the tabs below the bookmarks and address bar!!  I have no idea why anyone would want them at the top; its crazy!

Tabs on bottom (just above pages) makes sense. It mimics a folder with pages(see example).

Tabs are part of the pages and are connected directly.
