How to place Firefox tabs on bottom

jacatone · 2025-03-01 00:33

For some reason the tabs have moved above the address bar when they should be below it. Anyone know a fix for this?

Ive used Firefox for a long time and the tabs have always been above the address bar in my experience. Ive never seen a setting to change it.
Bookmark bar is definitely below the address bar.

@crosscourt: The same for me.

@jacatone: Aren't you confusing it with another browser?

FYI, there's a newish Firefox fork out of Japan that advertises "unlimited customization" and displays a rather polished UI, IMHO: Floorp (https://floorp.app/en).

Honestly, how much customization will most users do with a browser.

Guess that depend how you count long. Tabs started out next to content way back in the dark ages.

Might find something here http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl … 20position

I been doing it with js. Edit the browser code to move the toolbar. Last I know for sure is 115, (may have changed for later)
document.getElementById("navigator-toolbox").appendChild(document.getElementById("TabsToolbar"));
in
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox115\browser\omni.jar\chrome\browser\content\browser\browser.js
should do it. (Change path to match installed location, that's my windows install)
I actually have mozIJSSubScriptLoader in a setTimeout in there to load a js file in profile\chrome folder.

I've edited browser code since they killed loading xul addons, "legacy".

Some do much customization, you might be surprised. Still using xul overlays and js. That's why I'm considering Pale Moon. The old xul interface. Can't keep up with mozilla.

I did a lot of changes back in the dark ages as Ive working with computers since the 1980s but today most browsers already have some nice customization features that will suit the vast majority of users. Noone is trying to take away the freedom to change things but in fact most users actually dont. Chris Titus was the first I saw who did a video about this topic, as the majority of users dont customize their distros either.
Different strokes for different folks,

So an ancient, got me beat, I guess. After my old NEC PC????(didn't do much with,just rolodex dialer & word processser, still got it some where) I didn't get back to computers till about 2000 on 98. Customize, "most users actually dont". I suppose some are just different.

Got Pale Moon setup (on win7) bout the same as my Firefoxes (1.? -2.? or 3.? on 98) 45- 91, 115 (on 7) ain't there yet. PM is closer to FF52 with the interface(xul)/extensions.

But tabs were next to content, then they moved it (more then once?), I believe had a preference in about:config at at one point and dropped that, I eventually just added it to js in personal extension, which got moved edited overtime (along with other), and eventually loaded from/by edit to browser.js

Unzipping the omni (assuming it still there) might be a bit much for "most users". But I was already using the js in my personal extension that they tried to kill.

Yep Im a technogeezer and honestly, in the old days customizing was the norm, as you had so much control over things and they needed a lot of help. The act of customizing today is far easier than it was back then but not as much fun overall. Its a great experience having done and experienced things for the first time. Even designing a change yourself that really works or a program to fill a need.
