The lastest "up-date" [that's a laugh!] has moved "Tabs" where I do NOT want them & my toolbars have all disappeared! How do I download a version that actually does what I want it to do?

hello ralph, your system information says that you're still of firefox 3.6 - in case this is right please update as soon as possible, since your browser is affected by numerous known security vulnerabilities which will put the integrity of your system and your personal data at risk!

if you have any questions on how to adjust firefox to your likings afterwards, please come back to the forum...

Thanx PHILIPP ! When you answered I was downloading Ver. 21. [No thanx to Mozilla] The tabs are still NOT where I want them but at least I got my toolbar back. Will follow your instructions & attempt to move my tabs. Has anyone else found the Mozilla "Support" page to be less than worthless? All it does is run you around in circles withOUT helping at all! Thanx again.

Current Firefox versions only show the "Tabs on Top" menu entry in the "View > Toolbars" and "Firefox > Options" menu and in toolbar context menus if the tabs aren't in the default position on top.

If the tabs are on top and the menu entry isn't available and you want to move the tabs below the navigation toolbar then you need to toggle the browser.tabs.onTop pref to false on the about:config page.

A Firefox restart is necessary to update the menu entry to either show or remove it.
