can't change position of tabs to be under url
Why do programmers at Firefox continue to change simple things like being able to change positioon of tabs to be below url.
This has been a problem for many years, and people continue to complain about it, but programmers continue to show disrespect to users by making changes, not telling us, and then not allowing users to go back to configurations we have become used to.
Firefox used to be a very popular program, but it is the small changes like this that cause a lot of disastisfaction with users, and cause us to go to other programs. PUT THE ABILITY TO CHANGE TAB BAR POSITION BACK INTO CONFIG FILE, OR EVEN BETTER PUT IT IN TOOLS.

Did you try to customize it? They went to a standard layout and if you wanted to change from that look you had to create or find a userchrome.css style to change what you wanted the layout to look. I don't think it was out of disrespect but for security and stability purpose and to have a standard layout.
That option for the Tab strip to be below the Navigation Toolbar has been gone for many years now, there have been Legacy extensions available for moving it until Firefox 57 Quantum was released. Currently Web Extensions can't be created to allow an extension developer to code that type of feature. Maybe at some time in the future ab API might be available which might allow that type of feature to be made via a Web Extension, but currently that feature is not allowed or possible.
I would be curious which other browser out there might have that type of modification available as a standard feature, or even allowed to be done via an extension / add-on.

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
It is not that difficult to create userChrome.css if you have never used it.
The first step is to open the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" page and find the button to access the profile folder.
You can find this button under the "Application Basics" section as "Profile Folder -> Open Folder". If you click this button then you open the profile folder in the Windows File Explorer. You need to create a folder with the name chrome in this folder (name is all lowercase). In the chrome folder you need to create a text file with the name userChrome.css (name is case sensitive). In this userChrome.css text file you paste the text.
In Windows saving the file is usually the only time things get more complicated because Windows can silently add a .txt file extension and you end up with a file named userChrome.css.txt. To avoid this you need to make sure to select "All files" in the dialog to save the file in the text editor using "Save File as".
