Tabs moved to top again, do not want

An update was just applied that moves my Tabs back back to the top of the window. I do not want this, but the option to move them below has gone. The only options are 'On top' or 'On the side'. I want 'below bookmarks toolbar'.

The Tabs themselves also now have an ugly bubble around them that takes up too much space, and the tabs bar itself is twice as tall as it was before, with a load of wasted space around it. Please get rid of the bubble, shrink the bar, and stop using up more space than is necessary.

Please just undo whatever the last patch did.

Hi

Please appreciate that whatever you have done in the past has not been supported for over ten years now. Firefox 157 does bring back a compact mode that does reduce the space taken up by the browser frame and toolbars.

Bonjour

Tabs at the bottom, is it your question? https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/please-please-allow-us-to-place-the-tabs-at-the-bottom/idi-p/216

Do you use? userChrome.css

Below, a test with userChrome.css

#TabsToolbar { order: 2 !important; }

Thanks for the comments, both.

I had my settings as described until yesterday, so I don't know where the 10 year comment comes from.

I use Firefox, not Chrome.

Further help would be appreciated, thank you.

The method that you have used to move tabs has been an unsupported hack for many years now.

I don't know what method I used to move them, but it would be appreciated if the recent update didn't mess up my ui. If there's been a community trick circulating for 10 years, it should be implemented as an official option.

Also, thank you for letting me know about the compact mode. That lessens the damage for sure.
