Had to reload firefox and now I can't get my tabs to go down the screen only across the screen. How can I make them do this again?

I used to have my tabs going down in one line like a side bar and now that I had to reload Firefox I cannot get it to do it again. They open and go across the top under the title bar. I really want them to cascade down the screen again and I can't find any setting for me to do that. Can anyone tell me where to find the right setting please.

Thanks I tried that and I get a vertical column but the tabs still go across and the header gets smaller as more tabs are open.

I know in the past I have found the fix actually in the Firefox settings and that is what I am unable to locate.

Found 2 other add ons which solved it. One was tree style tabs and the other was side tabs. Am much happier now
