How do I put my tabs back BELOW my adress bar after this latest update?
(edited for language. please read forum rules and guidelines -m)
I've always had my tabs below my address bar and I find it incredibly annoying and inefficient to have it above my address bar as well as above my bookmarks bar.
Before this update I could fix this terribly designed annoyance by painstakingly going into about:config and setting browser.tabs.onTop to false instead of for say having the OPTION to change this in settings. This was not very obvious to someone that likes OPTIONS rather than being forced to conform to bad new design decisions, but at least it worked.
With this latest update however, going into about:config and setting browser.tabs.onTop to false no longer fixes the now mucked up tabs tool bar being on top of rather than below the address bar.
Is there any other way to change this, or am I stuck with this?

You can install either of the following add-ons.
- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tabs-on-bottom/
- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
If you don't want to install an add-on, you can put a user style in the userChrome.css file.

For around 4 years now I have had to train and show many hundreds of people how to make forefox work properly with addon features like Tab mix plus and how to put there tabs below so they could improve there work productivity becouse they just didnt know any better way existed. With over a million people now having downloaded the new classic restore addon in order to get just ONE FEATURE "TABS BELOW" It defies logic that the Firefox Developers either dont know how to use a browser properly or dont care. They are sheep following Internet explorer and google down a black hole of stupidity. I use Firefox becouse its different and its able to work the way I like with TABS BELOW. Firefox 29 lasted aproximately 5 minutes before I went back to FF 28. I would happily use FF 29 but ONLY if tabs are below. This should not require an addon. Tabs below should be the standard and it would be the defining feature that makes firefox stand out. The inability to have tabs below is the very reason I Dont use other browsers. If a petition to get tabs below is made just how many signatures do we need to get the developers to listen. What does it take for the developers to listen to its users. I just dont get why this has gone down the path of becomming more and more like crome and internet explorer both of which I utterley hate becouse I cant put tabs below and organise things in the same way I have always been able to do in Firefox. Where has the difference gone. May as well rebadge as "crome clone" or "baby IE". Please listen to your users and fix this issue as some of us do know a better way and its TABS BELOW
