My window tabs have always been at the bottom of the menu bar, just above the actual window. With this last update, the tabs are now above the controls and my bookmarks. How do I get them to the bottom of the menu bar again?

Gekose oplossing

Also make sure the file name is userChome.css and not UserChrome.css.css ... which could happen when you renamed the file you downloaded, if Windows is hiding filename extensions. To view extensions on Windows 7 , go to any folder, click to Tools -> Folder Options -> View and, under Advanced, remove the checkmark from the option, "Hide extensions for known file types."

I'm curious: did you try the code I posted above and does it work for you?

just tried it and it does not work.... bookmarks still open in current tab, not a new tab... interesting.. I feel like Firefox went backwards as I had everything I wanted in a browser.

I had it like the following in the CSS file:

  1. TabsToolbar {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: -0.0em;
  width: 100%;
  }
  #tabbrowser-tabs { width: 96%; }
  #content-deck { margin-bottom: 2.4em; }  
   browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs = true

The browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs = true line don't belong in userChrome.css if that is where you put it.

This is a pref that needs to be modified on the about:config page like I wrote on the previous page.

You can paste this in the location/address bar and accept the warning.

  • about:config?filter=browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs

That will open the about:config page with prefs that match this filter. You can double-click the browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs line to toggle the value of the pref.

that worked!! Thank you...

I thought you were to put it in the css..

Now last thing, do you know where the setting is so when you close a tab it moves to the left tab not the right tab..?

There is no such setting in Firefox. You can only go to the owner tab or to the tab on the left when you close the tab.

  • browser.tabs.selectOwnerOnClose

In tab mix plus I believe it may have said something like I stated about closing to the left, but the setting you just showing me was it!! Thank you once again...

Been a long time since I been in the guts of any program. I use to build computers for fun back in the Windows 95 days....

These solutions are far too complex. I am not a programmer. Why is Mozilla so resistant to this simple request?

This problem has been ongoing for years and years. Why can't Mozilla add "tabs below" to the preferences for Firefox instead of making this simple setting so complicated?
