I just updated my Firefox web browser to version 15.0 on my MacBook. I am really used to have Tabs under Address Bar. However, when I Control-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip, there is no "Tabs on Top" option in the pop-up menu.

Any suggestion on how to find this option would be appreciated.

That changed in Firefox 15 and is now a hidden preference; the default is for Tabs on Top to be on. To turn Tabs on Top off, you must use about:config. The instructions are the last item on the following page. I have also included a link on how to use about:config
