Tabs bar and location bar changed locations. How to restore it?
I am using Firefox for linux mint (97.0.1 (64-bit)). I previously had the location bar right below the menu bar, and below it the tabs. However all of the sudden the tabs are now above the location bar. How do I restore it to how it was before?
I tried View - Toolbars - Customize Toolbar, but the new screen it brings up does not allow me to drag what I want to move. If I try to drag the tabs, it drags the entire window. On what I am calling the location bar (the back, forward, home, address bar, add-on buttons), each thing on it is dragged individually, and when I try to drag the address bar, I cannot drop it anywhere above where it already is. Pressing the restore to default button on the customize toolbar does not change it to what is was before.
I think I hit a wrong button on the keyboard accidentally when all this began, are there some keyboard buttons to restore the previous layout?
Any help is appreciated.

The built-in preference to place the tabs below the main toolbar was removed in Firefox 29. Have you been using a userChrome.css file to rearrange the bars in recent years? That method can still work.
I have not tried/used a userChrome.css file. I will try to find instructions.
So what you are saying is that the tabs are supposed to be located directly underneath the menu bar now, and there isn't a standard way to change that?
Right, starting in Firefox 4, tabs moved from just above the content (web page) to the top of the toolbar area. The built-in preference to switch between the Firefox 1-3.6 and Firefox 4+ designs was removed in Firefox 29.
Were you using a customized version of Firefox? I'm not sure what your distro might have been modifying in recent years. Perhaps the Mint forums would have more information.
See this forum response for CSS code in userChrome.css for Firefox 89+ to move the tabs to below the Navigation Toolbar:
