How do you take the sidebar from the side and put iit on top ?

Could you clarify whether you want to move the entire sidebar panel to the top of the browser or simply move the sidebar button to the top toolbar

Want to move the entire soundbar back to the top of the browser

There are some options. If you don't like the fat vertical button bar (launcher bar) at the left side of the browser, you can hide that bar.

• Click the wheel/gear icon at the bottom of the launcher bar
• Un-check the box for "Open tools from sidebar"

See accompanying screenshot for the difference

Is that closer to what you're looking for?

Well now it's gone from the left but I would like it back at thew top of the browser window, like it was before. makes it easier to go back to previous sites. -- Thanks

Oh, I forgot to ask. Did your tabs get moved from the top bar (horizontal tabs) to a list in the sidebar (vertical tabs)? There is a different setting for that. Now that we turned off the launcher bar, you can click the header in the sidebar (Bookmarks, for example) to open a drop-down menu and open "Customize sidebar". Here you can un-check the box for vertical tabs.

Was that the problem?
