address bar switches position with bookmark bar
Question line is the issue. Toolbars are formatted, top to bottom, as - Menu Bar /Bookmark Bar with 'Multirow Plus' / Tabs. The menu and bookmark bars switch positions periodically. If I go to to Menu/customize and immediately click Exit, the tool bars go back to formatted look.
Win 7 ver. 54.0.1 (64-bit)

Note that you should remove extension that adds this tabs on bottom feature or at least disable this feature in your extensions to prevent interference.

This is likely a problem with the extension that places the Tab bar on bottom that n't working properly.
I use code in userChrome.css to place the tabs on bottom.
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 */ /* tabs on bottom */ #navigator-toolbox toolbar:not(#nav-bar):not(#toolbar-menubar) {-moz-box-ordinal-group:10} #TabsToolbar {-moz-box-ordinal-group:1000!important}
- 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
You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

Thanks. Beautifully presented. I'm not usually so dense, however after creating new folder in Profile... Questions: 1. I'm to open Notepad and create new css? Is that the scripting above /* tabs on bottom */....? 2. Then I paste (without saving) the text in Notepad into where? I don't know of a userChrome.css FILE or the editor window. 3. What is the @namespace line?
My apology in advance. I think it's me, not your instructions.
You need to create the chrome folder in the profile folder if this folder isn't there.

Then you need to create a plain text file with the name userChrome.css in this folder. Paste the full content I posted above between the horizontal separators in this file including the @namespace line.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once in userChrome.css */ /* tabs on bottom */ #navigator-toolbox toolbar:not(#nav-bar):not(#toolbar-menubar) { -moz-box-ordinal-group:10 !important; } #TabsToolbar { -moz-box-ordinal-group:1000 !important; }
Done. I'll watch to see if that does the job. Thanks.
