How do I get the "Colourful Tabs" addon to work with the "Classic Theme Restorer" addon?

I have the Colorful Tabs addon. But after adding the Classic Theme Restorer addon (to get my tabs back on the bottom), the Color Tabs addon doesn't work. My tabs are now all the same color The colorful tabs' addon works so that all the tabs are different colors, so to tell which tab is the one you're using right then, the active tab puts a thin line below the tab bar the same color as that active tab. So if you have 5 tabs open and they're all diffierent colors, if the tab your page in on is green, then you'll see a thin green line across the screen (sort-of like a horizontal border line). I can see a colored line (different than the color all the tabs are now) under the tab bar. If I click on a different tab, the color of the line changes. So I can tell what color my tab SHOULD be if it was working right, so I know this addon is installed and working, but is not showing up for some reason. Is there any way to fix this?

I'm running Win 8.1 (64) and FF 30.0. Thanks

If you only use the CTR extension to get the tabs on the bottom then there are other ways like code in userChrome.css or an extension like Tabs On Bottom that might work better.

You can move the tabs to the lower position just above the browsing area without using an extension with code in userChrome.css as basically you only need to give the Tab bar a higher -moz-box-ordinal-group value (most toolbars have a default -moz-box-ordinal-group:1 to show them in DOM order). 

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#TabsToolbar{-moz-box-ordinal-group:10000!important}
