@Arty2 that last code actually worked having the titlebar in the bottom, looks sweet! I have 1 bug (i just discovered while logging inhere) and 2 questions:
Bug: LastPass, being at the bottom , when I click it, the pop up loads downwards (meaning I cannot see it) instead of up. Odd because most other things pop upwards.

Is it possible to have just the tabs at the bottom, while keeping address bar at top? This was the code I found when trying to bring my tabs back to the bottom, not sure how I feel about address bar. I tried hiding the address bar code, or changing the number, but it brings the tabs with it.

Also, if you have a theme, the theme doesnt "come with it" to the bottom either. Do you know what code I would put to move the theme to the bottom as well? I dont know the # for the theme. thank you

No solution found yet for this problems?

LastPass seems to be following a different approach in how the place their pop-up. Unfortunately I am not familiar with LastPass and it's not possible for me to investigate. What is more, moving the tabs to the bottom while keeping the URL bar at the top is beyond the scope of this script. Perhaps https://github.com/Aris-t2/CustomCSSforFx has something that works along these lines.

Regarding themes, if I understand correct, it's not possible to alter this behavior without changing the theme itself. A starting point into making a custom theme: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Themes/Create_Your_Own_Firefox_Background_Theme

Hello to everyone,

I just want to say thank You very much Arty for making this great addon compatible with the putrid Firefox 72, which seems to be really slower than the previous version.

Before knowing of the above update by Arty, once Firefox broke the code I tried to skip back to the v71. Unfortunately I accidentally DELETED my entire profile in the operation. Ouch! Never happened before. Damned Firefox!!!

Sincerely

Hi
I've been looking everywhere for something to move my tabs to the bottom and finally I found it! Only problem is, I'd like to have my browser bar and bookmarks toolbar at the top. Can you help please?
Cheers
Liz

Hi @lizc1, I believe that requires some significant tweaks that I am not even sure if possible. Unfortunately I cannot look into it for the time being.

Hi @Arty2 your script worked great for me except for that the rich pop up menu would flow downwards and I couldn't see it. But I did find another userChrome.css that also moves the tabs and address bar to the bottom but the rich pop up when you type in the menu bar now is visible and flows upwards. If anyone would like to reference it, it is in Jon Gjengsets configs https://github.com/jonhoo/configs/blob/master/gui/.mozilla/firefox/chrome/userChrome.css

Hello Arty, Firefox just updated to v119 breaking Your add on. Please, fix the new issue. Thank You so much, Your extension is always awesome!

It's again me. At the moment i restored Firefox to v118.0.2. All is fine, tabs and URL bar went back to bottom but, on Windows, i had to run the following command ("firefox.exe --allow-downgrade") otherwise they don't allow to use the "old" profile.

That said, i hope to hear from Arty with good news.

Bye!
