Hello- When using Firefox 104.0.2 (64-bit) today, I meant to right-click on the bookmarks bar but accidentally right-clicked on the address bar and clicked unclicked "Menu Bar." No big deal, just re-clicked the Menu Bar to bring that back. Unfortunately, at that same time as the initial mistake was made, my entire window bar moved up above the address bar, instead of being directly above content (below address bar) like it had always been. I've read numerous (mostly very old) threads about this being a known issue, and the fix is changing some css coding or something like that (way above my skill level). Plus, those problems all seemed to be triggered by a sofrware update. This was not during any sort of software update. It was during use, and seemed evidently trigger by that mis-click. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Did you try to close and restart Firefox to see whether that corrects the problem as the CSS code you use to move the Tab bar to the lower position might not work properly with the Menu bar hidden ?

Yes, I closed and re-started the program. Tried it multiple ways with the menu bar toggled on, or toggled off, just in case. Also did the classic computer re-boot, as well.

It's not the end of the world, and I realize this may simply be in the category of "deal with it and get used to it." The disappointing part is that the tab bar used to be below bookmarks, and I would occasionally send screenshots to people where the visibility of the tab was useful (but I wouldn't want to include my bookmarks). Not critical though, obviously. Just different arrangement, and not as good as before.

Thank you for the reply though!
