Put the Tabs back on bottom
The new FF57 puts back (again) the tabs on top. As pointed out by many users, this is a non-sense. Why would users have to struggle to put this back on? What is userchrome and why do we have to install chrome things to modify FF in the first place? I don't want ANYTHING related to chrome or google on my rig.
I just don't get it, Mozilla has tried many times previously to force users to have tabs on top, this could however be circumvented by a simple module installation. Please put this back or I'll definitely stop using FF. Updates are supposed to make a software easier to use, better design, less bugs. With Mozilla, it is exactly the opposite, why???
Please don't come up with this userchrome non-sense, I don't have time to struggle with this, until there is a module that can make things as they were, I'm out.

Hello, here is a guide for creating userChrome.css files: https://www.userchrome.org/how-create-userchrome-css.html
Here is the code you need to put into it, to get tabs on the bottom
TabsToolbar { -moz-box-ordinal-group: 2;
}
nav-bar{ border-top-width: 0px !important;
}

This is the only way you can achieve this currently, sorry.
please someone make it easier to get the tabs back on the bottom!
I get lost in the directions.
I agree with alexhatesFF (although I don't hate FF), that many people want to customize easily, especially putting TABS ON BOTTOM. I am one of them. Can't this be a simple preference?
Ok I finely got the time to follow the instructions :

I followed them to the letter. This did not work. Is there another way to get the tabs back on the bottom?
Thanks to all that I've removed FF (after using it daily for 19 years) and I am now using SeaMonkey, it works exactly the same, but everything can be customized my way. Farewell FF
Until Firefox gives me my tabs on bottom option back I will stay happy using Pale moon- and I recommend others who are unhappy with #57 to switch -maybe if enough people do the switch Firefox will fix their mindsets to allow us to configure it to our liking.

Hi sddrlj, sorry I didn't see your post until today.
You can download a file containing a more complete set of rules for the tab bar, move it into your chrome folder, and then rename the file to userChrome.css (initially it has extra text to avoid accidentally replacing a file if you have one already).
See: https://www.userchrome.org/what-is-userchrome-css.html#movetabbar
to:alexhatesFF I have been using Pale Moon (64bit) for about six years now give it a try it's better that Firefox and infinitely customizable including tabs on bottom.

Thanks, jscher2000. I found a folder named Application Support by plugging ~/Library/Application Support/ into Spotlight (Mac OS X). In that folder I found a folder named "Firefox" & within that folder is one named Chrome. I have already forgotten how a downloaded a file to paste into the Chrome folder :(, but it included text about tabs on bottom, and when I renamed that file "userChrome.css" as you suggested, my tabs migrated to the bottom. Thanks.
