how do I get the tabs to go under the bookmarks toolbar?
Firefox 61.0.1, I would like to put the tabs under the toolbar

Hi walbrecht, while there's no setting for this and no add-on, there is the option of using a userChrome.css file to override the toolbar order.
Your request has come up quite a few times since Firefox 57 was released (breaking "Classic Theme Restorer" and other legacy extensions) so there are now several different methods available. I'll mention one and you can explore others if this doesn't meet your needs.
Tabs on Bottom Recipe
You can use custom style rules to move the tabs bar. Firefox looks for a file named userChrome.css at startup and applies those rules to the user interface. When you have 10 minutes, here's what you do:
(A) Create a new chrome folder in your profile folder. This article has the steps for that (#1, #2, and optionally #3)

(There's a video for Mac as well as one for Windows.)
(B) Set Windows not to hide the .css file extension (step #4 in the above article)
(C) Download the following file and move it into that chrome folder:

(D) Rename that file to just userChrome.css
The next time you quit Firefox and start it up again, it should discover that file and apply the rules.
Success?

Hi,
Unfortunately, there is no option to achieve this natively in Firefox. You may want to take a look at the Firefox addons to see if there is one to accomplish this behavior, but I don't think it is possible for an addon to modify this.
Sorry.
