I can change the tab location w/respect to the address bar, but what are "tab controls?" Can't find that explanation.
From your web site re: tabs on top- Why was this Change Made?
The main reason is that it just makes more sense. With tabs underneath, the tab and the controls were grouped together and the page was separate. With tabs on top they are now all grouped together so that each tab has it's own set of controls.
What are the "controls" of which you speak?

The article you looked at will have been
and it will have been the version of that article relating to the current Release.
I think the mention controls relates the fact that the reload and bookmarks star, and the zoom icon if you use it all clearly relate to the individual tab and the redesign makes that easier to understand.
Note that from Firefox 29 the tabs underneath will no longer be an option even from the about:config. I imagine there are or will be addons to customise Firefox so that tabs can be underneath again.
Also note that right clicking a tab gives a list of options including to pin the tab
- Pinned Tabs - keep favorite websites open and just a click away
- There are also the currently advert free new tabs which are customisable

Hello,
Sorry, but i don't understand, what controls you are talking, but there are some help articles, maybe you find what you want:
I don't know what "controls" are either, hence my question. On the Mozilla site, under the explanation of how to move tabs w/respect to the address bar, it states "...each tab has it's own set of controls." That's the part I don't understand. It sounds to me like tab position is just a personal preference.

You've answered my question, thanks. You mention Firefox 29, but I show the latest version is 27, which I'm running. Since the active tab is highlighted, regardless of tabs up or down, it is obvious to me which tab the controls are acting upon. Regardless, I'll get used to tabs up. Thanks again.
Thanks for posting back.
Changes will be happening soon and I know some people find them rather controversial,as happens almost every time there is a change. Firefox 29 will not be out until the end of April. If you are interested in a preview of what changes are likely have a glance at this graphic
