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

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 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.

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.
