Hi everyone,

I recently had to "refresh" Firefox because Adblock Plus kept getting disabled somehow. Now I'm having a hard time getting my layout back to what I'm accustomed to. What I would like is to have the following layout:

[Menu bar]
[Address bar]
[Tabs]
[Bookmarks toolbar]

The default is to have tabs on the very top, and with the 'Classic Theme Restorer' I can put the tabs on the very bottom, but I'm trying to get back to having them below the address bar but above the bookmarks toolbar. If you can help me get there, I'd be most grateful!

See:

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line. 

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#navigator-toolbox toolbar:not(#nav-bar):not(#toolbar-menubar) { -moz-box-ordinal-group:10; }
#TabsToolbar {-moz-box-ordinal-group: 100!important;}
#PersonalToolbar {-moz-box-ordinal-group: 101!important;}

The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

  • Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
  • Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
  • Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
  • Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
  • Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.
    Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file
