Please allow the tabs to be positioned at the bottom of the browser window, not just at the top and left.

Hello

Krinstintian, of course, it's not the answer expected, nevertheless.

Dear Mozilla Firefox developers,

What many users have been requesting regarding the position of the browser tabs is not a matter of simple taste or nostalgia, but one of visual logic, ergonomics, and ocular health. After a certain age—or simply after many years of working in front of a screen—the human body favors looking toward a lower area of the monitor. This is not an opinion but basic visual physiology: the natural resting eye line sits approximately 15–20 degrees below the visual horizon.

However, modern browsers have removed almost all the ability to adjust the interface. They have eliminated the title bar, fixed the tabs at the very top, and restricted customization via CSS or internal settings. All in the name of a “clean, modern aesthetic,” at the expense of ergonomic and accessibility options that were perfectly feasible and, in many cases, already existed.

The consequence is that millions of users—especially those over 45 or 50 years old—must constantly strain their eyes or neck to interact with an interface that does not adapt to their physiology. On large screens or multi-monitor setups, having to look to the top of the display to switch tabs or check an address is not only uncomfortable, it is fatiguing.

What is most frustrating is that Firefox previously demonstrated this can be solved easily: with a simple CSS adjustment, tabs can be placed beneath the address bar in a fully functional and stable way. Therefore, this is not a technical limitation but a design decision that ignores a significant portion of the user community.

The problem is not impossibility, but a lack of willingness to retain options. Every control removed in the name of “simplicity” or “brand consistency” is a step away from accessibility. Browsers should adapt to users first—not the other way around.

For this reason, we ask Mozilla to seriously consider reintroducing — at least as an advanced option — the ability to place tabs below the address bar. Not only out of respect for long-time Firefox customizers, but as a matter of ergonomics, inclusion, and common sense.

Sincerely,
A long-time user who still trusts Firefox.

@Jon 

Thank you for relentlessly since 3 years merging and merging all the questions related to the same topic in a single thread.

Some might think this would allow the topic to have more 'weight' by checking the amount of messages.

Some others, like me, prefer to think this is a way to hide the problem, to make sure it's not too present in the list of topics. So everyone can continue to happily ignore it.

So, instead of merging, when can we expect to have a real feedback, some real attention from the deciding people from your organization ?

When will you understand that this issue will never fade out ? You will always have people asking and asking. It has been 10 years now, and we are still here, and we will continue to be here.

When can we have a release date ? A target version ?
