If I update to the latest version how can I get tabs back into their proper place below the toolbar.
I understand that as from 14th March 2025 I will need to update Firefox. I am currently running 102.0 and have sucessfully prevented Firefox from updating to later versions. I did this to prevent the updates positioning the tabs in the wrong place. Please can you tell me if the CSS script that I use to put them back into their correct position, i.e. below the Bookmarks Toolbar, will still work.
Also, will newer versions allow the user to choose where the tabs are positioned? It was possible to do this in earlier versions and the choice is also available in other browsers.
I have also managed to stop Windows 10 updating for several years too, Microsoft kept altering my laptop in unacceptable ways.

Which CSS code in userChrome.css are you using in 102 to place the tabs below the Navigation Toolbar? Is there an author listed at the top of the code where you can check for a newer version or did you get the code from this website?
I cannot identify an author or version of the code. I probably just cut and pasted the code from a website, in doing so I would have removed any lines of code that were not relevant to it working.
So many people want to have the tabs back below, why can it not be done?
Note that using CSS code in userChrome.css in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder is the only way to place the tabs in the position below the Navigation Toolbar, so if your current CSS code isn't working in the current release then you need to get an update.
