Tabs on Bottom

Hi All

OK so I got a new laptop last night it's running Win 11 on it and I reinstalled Firefox version 104.02 (64 bit). I then copied over my old Firefox's Chrome folder with userchrome.css in it that was working fine on the old Firefox to drop the tabs to bottom. Oddly though it is not working in the new install. Below is the code I have from the old laptop. What adjustments might be needed to drop the tabs to the bottom?

I also have some color customization's to color the folders tanish but that too is not working

Thanks Dave

In Firefox 69 and later you need to set this pref to true on the about:config page to enable userChrome.css and userContent.css in the chrome folder.
