I hate the look and feel of the new Firefox and want to reinstall firefox22 the tab bar tacks up space without needing to. there is no option to not have the tab bar display when not needed. I tried to reinstall Firefox 22 by uninstalling the stupid 24 version first but when I use the 22 ver I have saved on my hard drive (even when offline) it loads ver 24 or fails. I tried restoring my pc to previous settings buth ver 22 will not work anymore.

As an alternative you can toggle the browser.tabs.onTop pref to false on the about:config page.

Current Firefox versions only show the "Tabs on Top" menu entry in the "View > Toolbars" and "Firefox > Options" menu and in toolbar context menus if the tabs aren't in the default position on top.

If the tabs are on top and the menu entry isn't available and you want to move the tabs below the navigation toolbar then you need to toggle the browser.tabs.onTop pref to false on the about:config page.
A Firefox restart is necessary to update the menu entry to either show or remove it.
