How can I move the tab bar to the bottom, and how do I get my reload and stop buttons back?

The new version of Firefox has repositioned my tab bar to the top and I cannot move it to the bottom. I tried about:config, but browser.tabs.ontop was already set to false - very curious, since this should have solved my problem in the first place.

In the new version of Firefox I cannot get my reload and stop buttons back again.

Hi narab,

You can use the Classic Theme Restorer to bring all those back again. You can find more detaills here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-make-new-firefox-look-like-old-firefox

Firefox uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location bar.

  • You get a Stop button during page loading that changes to a Reload button when the page has finished loading
  • You get a Go button if you modify the location bar content
  • Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab

One more problem: The new version of Firefox has repositioned my tab bar to the top and I cannot move it to the bottom. I tried about:config, but browser.tabs.ontop was already set to false - very curious, since this should have solved my problem in the first place.

Have you tried Classic Theme Restorer? In this add-on also you can set tab position.

Yes - This solved my problem, but I still don't understand why about:config isn't functioning properly.
