+1 broken again with the V113 update 😡

[abc1234]

Previously working custom CSS for tabs on bottom again broken for v113. This is the Nth time same issue happens. I think this is deliberate breakage to harass users. Cannot happen accidentally that CSS implementing one specific feature gets broken every few months! Total waste of time having to fix this again all the time!

This might help some of you perhaps just looking to place the tabs below again but one of the members in the support forum helped me figure out the fix and it works fine. The fix is the last post in the thread by me and has all the CSS code I used to again put the tabs below

I truly can't understand why this is NOT an option, after all the gnashing of teeth over many years. I'm so fed up with Firefox that I'm actually beginning to consider Edge (now THAT's bad). I put off upgrading FF as long as I can, and then... some primadonna developer decides to break it for everybody, again. Making this an option would be SO ridiculously easy that it's hard to imagine this continual breakage isn't intentional.

I'm also fed up with Firefox, and I have been wondering for some time whether Mozilla intentionally makes changes so that custom CSS no longer work. I haven't switched to other browsers because I do not want them.

Signed. Last update broke the workaround, yet again. I don't understand why developers think they know what people should prefer - instead of giving options.

It was supported earlier, so.

Mozilla please

You could try Floorp, which is based on Firefox and allows the tab bar to be placed at the bottom of the screen.

You could try Floorp, a Firefox-based browser that allows tabs on the bottom.

I work as a usability expert, and tabs belong to the content window more than any other headline.
Thus, they should always be at the bottom of the headlines directly above the content, no matter what programming ideology mandates.

I also like the menu bar and a search box in the title bar, replacing the almost useless title.
This way I don't lose screen estate to boilerplate.

[dasco597]

a point in favor of built-in support for this is that having a userChrome.css (aside from getting broken every few updates) has the issue of not being able to access the address/tab bars in full-screen mode. with the title bar at the top, a user can hover their cursor at the top of the screen to reveal the address/tab bars, but this is impossible to do this on the bottom of the screen with userChrome.css.

I personally find tabs on bottom to be a lot more ergonomic as my focus is mostly on the webpage and I only glance down to do address/tab bar stuff. having the tabs on the bottom means less craning my neck, especially on a laptop. IMO this could be a big innovation to get ahead of other browsers!

in reality, it seems there's little to chance of this being supported natively, but regardless I want to say I'm very grateful to the firefox team for their continued efforts to maintain this amazing browser 🙂

@dasco597you seem to want something completely different from us ... all we want is the tabs below the address bar and not on top of it.

[dasco597]

@JIGSAWoh right that makes sense lol

[Imanalien2020]

@JIGSAWmoving the tabs below the address bar is simple. We including me and dasco597 want the tabs at the bottom of our PC screens, not on top of the screen or under the address bar on top of the screen. I had a code to place the tabs completely on the bottom of my screen but alas once the browser got updated a new line of code broke it for me. We wish we could just click a setting button to automatically make it happen. That's customization which Firefox has minimal of. A few other browsers have mass customization abilities but there's just something about those browsers I don't like which is why I stick to Firefox as I've tried about 20 different browsers for PC. Lots of potential out there but it's not there yet for me. So, we wait for Mozilla to wake up. This logic is the same on my Android phone. I use a browser called Soul Browser and I can't place my address/URL bar and Tabs on the bottom of my screen. Which if you want user friendly that's it. Why do I want to continuously reach for the top of my phone back to the bottom and up down down up..lol silly. Keep it all down at the bottom by my thumbs.

I want you to know I finished setting up my account to specifically make this request. Why on Earth can I not EASILY move my open tabs to the bottom of my windows Firefox browser bar? Where is the option to just casually have my Firefox have the tabs where *I* want them to be? It is really frustrating that every so often I am once again punished with updates that change long standing settings I specifically make for myself. I love you guys at Mozilla but this infrequent anti-consumer behavior is a big deal for me and obviously a lot of other users seeking the same resolution. Stop breaking things for your longterm customers. Just have the settings easily available and customizable ALWAYS and not broken every few updates. Every other customization is second rate and unimportant to me. I want my tabs where I always have put them.
