swap Menu location

[richardwdbest]

I would like to have the menu above the Get Messages ribbon, as it was in older versions of Thunderbird. I find the current arrangement difficult to use.

Put this code into your userChrome.css file:

#toolbar-menubar {
 order: -1
}

If you're not familiar with CSS, follow these instructions.

First do this:

- go to TB menu > Settings > General

- scroll all the way down and click the 'Config editor' button on the right

- click the 'Accept the risk and continue' button if that appears

- search for: toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets

- click the double arrow on the right to toggle the value to 'true'

Then:

- go to the Setup section of the FirefoxCSS subreddit [tutorial](https://www.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS/wiki/index/tutorials/#wiki_setup)

- skip 'Enable userChrome customization in about:config'; you've already done that

- follow the instructions under 'Locate and open your profile folder..'
Note: for TB, the menu choice is Help > Troubleshooting Information.

- follow the instructions under 'Create the folder and its files' (make sure userChrome.css doesn't end with .txt - Windows must be set not to hide extensions for known file types)

- once userChrome.css is created, open it and enter the code I mentioned above

- save the file > ignore the rest of the instructions > restart TB
