I NEED my tabs to be 'on bottom'... Since Firefox put tabs 'on top' and disabled the fix in 'about:settings', I have used Classic Theme Restorer with great success. However I have just tried to install it on Fox 42 and it is no go... Is it me or is it Fox 42?

I have been using Firefox since it was Mozilla and love it forever. The first time I looked a Chrome I instantly said nope specifically because the tabs were on top. That simple. I refused. As oit is, Chrome has turned out to be a very mediocre browser, but I'm not surprised.

So is anyone else having problems w. Theme Restorer on Fox 42?

I must have my tabs where they belong and it should never have been changed...

Thanks you!

I found it! I had to go outside of Fox Add-Ons to http://www.snapfiles.com/get/classictheme.html... Works great now! Hope it helps others who encounter same problem...

Best wishes!

Thank you, Philipp, it was just saying "sorry , cannot install CTR' and giving me a "try again" button... Very strange... Anyway, I did work around it as I said above thanks to SnapFiles http://www.snapfiles.com/get/classictheme.htm.. Works great now. Share the link if it comes up for anyone else :)
