Change order of toolbars

There are 4 toolbars at the top of the Firefox screen. The default order from top to bottom seems to be: 

 Menu bar
 Tabs bar
 Navigation bar
 Bookmarks bar   (which Firefox apparently calls "PersonalToolbar")

I would like to move the Bookmarks bar above the Tabs bar so the order is; 

 Menu bar
 Bookmarks bar
 Tabs bar
 Navigation bar

I tried to use ChatGPT to accomplish this. After well over 6 iterations, I gave up (ChatGPT was still going strong - hallucinating?). The only code in userChrome.css that accomplished this is shown below. Unfortunately it leaves the order as: 

 Bookmarks
 Navigation
 Menu
 Tabs

Can a human expert help me where ChatGPT failed? ___________________

/* Move the bookmarks toolbar above the tabs */

  1. navigator-toolbox { 
   display: flex;
   flex-direction: column-reverse;

}

The Menu bar and the Tab bar are in one #titlebar container. You can move the #TabsToolbar out of this container and place it on the bottom of the #navigator-toolbox (there is CSS code to achieve this), but placing the #TabsToolbar between the #nav-bar and the #PersonalToolbar is not possible. Switching the order of the #nav-bar and the #PersonalToolbar is simply done by setting the order (the order is '0' by default). 

#PersonalToolbar {order:1 !important}
#nav-bar {order:2 !important}

P.S. If anyone's interested, I think you can see the whole ChatGPT dialog, complete with code suggestions, at https://chatgpt.com/c/67131b65-1f3c-8011-af23-9c8ac11684fc Note that the code I posted simply reverses the order of the toolbars; it doesn't otherwise rearrange them.

Thanks for information. Apparently ChatGPT was trying to do something that wasn't possible, but didn't "realize" it. Human experts are still needed!
