I used the support article [Hide Tab bar if there is only one tab] to hide the tab bar when there is only one tab. I now regret it and want to go back. I tried browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled = true but that didn't work. And unfortunately I don't understand the "chosen" solution, so I can't reverse it. The regret is because it's hard to drag a single tab and drop it in another browser window.

That is about using CSS code in the userChrome.css file in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).

You can remove this userChrome.css file or set this pref to false on the about:config page.

  • about:config => toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets = false

More info about userChrome.css/userContent.css in case you are not familiar: *https://www.userchrome.org/what-is-userchrome-css.html

Your link is wrong - no page is found. Paste the url of the page without trying to use the paper clip.

You probably created a file userChrome.css. You can put comment markers around the code in that file (/* */). If you have no other code in the file you could instead rename the file or change the following preference in about:config to false. toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets
