How to get tabs back below UI?

more options

Yesterday, Firefox updated and moved my tabs bar up to the top of the window, and got rid of the button that lets me move them to the bottom. They used to be below the bookmarks toolbar which is where I like them.

Last time I could right-click the Tabs bar and there was a button called 'Tabs on top' which I could disable, and the tabs moved back to the bottom. But they got rid of that and I can't find where it's gone.

Hi

There has been no change to the position of tabs in the new update, they are still located above the address bar in Firefox.

Hi Seburo,

Before this update they were below the bars for me, but like you say they're now above. I want them back below. Do you know where the button for that went? Thanks

Edit: As another point, the latest update also made the tabs themselves about twice as tall, so they take up much more room on the screen. Is there a way of making them shorter again?

It may be, that Mozilla thinks, that the tab position on top is the best. But there are also good reasons to keep the tab position at the bottom. It would be nice if an employee explains to my parents every day where they can find their tabs now...
