Improve location of toolbars
This is a feature request - not sure if it goes here.
I would like to arrange the toolbars in Firefox in the following order:
Menu bar (top, with "File" on the far left and "X" on the far right, i.e. not centered) Bookmarks bar Search bar Tab bar
This can't be done currently. The best I can do is:
Bookmarks bar Search bar Menu bar Tab bar
My request is that the user be able to arrange the position of the toolbars in any arbitrary order. Thanks!

Beyond the "customize" options for Firefox you would have to use other 3rd party software to makes changes beyond the default options Firefox gives you to customize the toolbars. Did you use the "customize" options to move features around as well.
I believe I tried everything within Firefox. See my query of Oct. 19 ("Change order of toolbars") and cor-el's reply. That's why I submitted this as a feature request. I haven't investigated third-party software.
Posting on here isn't a submitting a request you need to follow the Firefox link they have to submit request. Posting on the forum isn't a submission request.

The more appropriate place would be https://connect.mozilla.org/
This is a community support forum for a number of Mozilla related products including the Firefox web browsers.
Thanks markwarner22 & James - I've submitted it there.
[BTW, markwarner22's comment has a "Thumbs down". I certainly didn't mark it that way deliberately and I don't think I did so even inadvertently. I tried clicking the "Thumbs up" but it wasn't accepted.]
What CSS are you currently in userChrome.css to achieve your current order?
Earlier thread about this issue.
- /questions/1470135 Change order of toolbars
The code currently in userchrome.css is:
/* Move the bookmarks toolbar above the tabs */
#navigator-toolbox {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column-reverse;
}
/* Move Menu bar to the top */
#toolbar-menubar { order: -1 !important; }
This results in the (less than ideal) toolbar order mentioned above:
Bookmarks bar Search bar Menu bar Tab bar
You should be able to move the Tab bar to the lower position and then swap the Navigation bar and the Bookmarks bar like i posted in your earlier thread I mentioned above. Didn't you try this?
Tab bar in the lower position:
Menu bar Navigation bar Bookmarks bar Tabs bar
Swap Navigation bar and Bookmarks bar:
Menu bar Bookmarks bar Navigation bar Tabs bar
