Having tabs on top of the address bar or below it (like old versions of Firefox) is an option that you can easily change. We'll show you how.

As you may have noticed, in older versions of Firefox, the tabs were located below the browser controls. From Firefox 4, the tabs are now on top of the controls. Don't worry, this article will show you an easy way to change that back if you want. It will also go over why this change is a good thing and why you should keep them on top. __TOC__ ==How do I put tabs back on bottom like they used to be?== {for fx15} #[[T:aboutconfig]] #In the '''Search''' field box at the top, type '''browser.tabs.onTop'''. # Double-click the {pref browser.tabs.onTop} preference to set its value to {pref false}. {/for} {for not fx15} {for win,linux}At the top of the Firefox window{/for}{for mac}On the menu bar{/for}, click on the {for win}{button Firefox} button, go over to the {menu Options...} arrow and uncheck {menu Tabs on Top}{/for}{for mac, linux, }{menu View} menu, go down to {menu Toolbars} and uncheck {menu Tabs on Top}{/for}. {/for} ==Why are Tabs on Top better?== The main reason is that it just makes more sense. With the old way, 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. This change also makes more sense for [[App Tabs - keep favorite websites open and just a click away|App Tabs]]. In the future, this arrangement will allow App Tabs to remove the browser controls or to allow a web app to use its own custom controls. This also goes for the new Add-on manager which is now displayed in a tab instead of a window. And finally, in Firefox 4, we changed the way website notifications are displayed. Now, instead of a dialog box appearing at the top of the window, they are connected to their tab. This makes it clear which website the notification belongs to and allows you to ignore it and switch tabs if you wish. With tabs on bottom, the notifications will cover your tabs and get in your way.
