Solved tabs on bottom for Firefox version 132.0.2

oldtraveler · Nov 16, 2024

After needing to reinstall my OS in order to update to Windows version 23H2 I lost the ability to have my Firefox tabs on the bottom. I have tried several css codes, but none that work.

Any help here?

Firefox tabs on the bottom?

yes I did that too. Still no change.??? The userChrome.css file has to be IN the Chrome folder. This is what you "need" in the Chrome folder... The... my_userChrome.css file is called by the regular userChrome.css file. It's just a handy place to add code, so you don't have to go through...

Probably more than you want, but here ya go....

First things first... stop Firefox from automatically updating. Simply unzip and drop this "distribution" folder into... C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox After manually updating Firefox this folder will be erased, so save a copy somewher

About 1/2 way down that first post, you'll see that I use Ari's "Chrome folder".
With it I can toggle most things ON/OFF without really having to learn CSS code.

As per the link above... this is how I have MY Firefox 132.0.2 setup...

The last time I did any serious coding was about 35-40 years ago.
And even then it was FORTRAN and a bit of Visual Basic.

In the... Aris T2 userChrome.css file... here's the line for "Tabs on Bottom"
This will put the Tabs at the very bottom of the browser's window.

@import "./css/tabs/tabs_below_main_content.css"; /**/

Maybe @das10 can convert that to a standard CSS line for you?
He's about the best we have for CSS code. ^^

With Ari's Chrome folder and a few about:config tweaks, you can reinstall and re-setup Firefox to your liking... in about 15-20 minutes.

Code:

ENABLING/DISABLING options:
  To activate an option: remove /* before @import
  To deactivate an option: add /* before @import

For reference, here's all of Ari's TABs location options....

Code:

/* ======================================================================================
   TABS TOOLBAR POSITION (below titlebar / below navigation toolbar / below main content)
   ======================================================================================
 
   [!] only use one option at a time
   [!] only use BELOW TITLEBAR or BELOW NAVIGATION BAR or BELOW MAIN CONTENT  <<<<< !!!
*/


/* ---------------------------------------------
   TABS BELOW TITLEBAR (Fx56-like tabs position)
   ---------------------------------------------
*/

/* @import "./css/tabs/tabs_below_titlebar_above_navigation_toolbar.css"; /**/


/* --------------------------------------------------------------
   TABS BELOW NAVIGATION AND BOOKMARKS TOOLBARS / TABS NOT ON TOP
   --------------------------------------------------------------

   [!] Note: only 'alt' works with multi-tab lines option.
   [!] Note: might require overriding url bars 'selection color' --> see corresponding area
*/

@import "./css/tabs/tabs_below_navigation_toolbar.css"; /**/


/* Alternative for multi-lined tabs (Glitches might occur with inactive menubar!)
   [!] use option below for multiple tab lines support
*/

/* @import "./css/tabs/tabs_below_navigation_toolbar_alt.css"; /**/

/* [!] no menubar when OS titlebar is active */
/* @import "./css/tabs/tabs_below_navigation_toolbar_alt_force_hidden_menubar.css"; /**/


/* Move tabs to a higher position
   [!] not compatible to 'tabs toolbar - multiple tab lines' option
   [!] only use one option at a time
   [!] EXPERIMENTAL
*/

/* @import "./css/tabs/tabs_below_navigation_toolbar_higher_navbar_positon.css"; /**/
/* @import "./css/tabs/tabs_below_navigation_toolbar_higher_navbar_positon_with_appbutton.css"; /**/
/* @import "./css/tabs/tabs_below_navigation_toolbar_higher_navbar_positon_with_appbutton_icon_only.css"; /**/


/* ----------------------------------------
   TABS BELOW MAIN CONTENT (TABS ON BOTTOM)
   ----------------------------------------
 
   [!] not compatible to 'tabs toolbar - multiple tab lines' option
*/

/* @import "./css/tabs/tabs_below_main_content.css"; /**/

That could be dangerous. das10 is too smart for MY dumb brain.
When IIIIIII have problems with FF... I go to das10 for help.

IF... you just go to the link below, and follow the directions, you should easily be able to set FF up the way you like.
The 1st time you do it... it's a pain, but after that, it's fairly easy.

You just need to remember that if you want to uninstall Firefox, just copy and SAVE your tweaked Chrome folder, somewhere safe. Then... when you reinstall FF, you can just drag and drop your saved Chrome folder, back into...

C:\Users\<account name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0xl6xxxx.default-release

And don't worry... das10 will "see" that I mentioned him, and show up here, in your topic, when he's online.

Whenever you want to light up someone's "Notification" thingy on Ten or Eleven Forums... just quote them or add an "@" symbol in front of their user name. Like so...
