The question "Adjust the location of the tabs bar" has been closed, but the solution is unsatisfactory
The updates from version 29 on have moved the tab bar as well as changed the position & function of the address bar. The "solution" to the question in quotes above is not a solution, the question was just closed. The question owner was able to return 95% of the function the way he had it & has settled for that. I don't find it acceptable & have opted to revert to version 28. I'm worried I might have to switch browsers after using Firefox since the first beta version. Is there no way to keep the options from version 28 (mainly the position of the tab & address bars) in updated versions? I tried the Classic Theme Restorer, but it didn't help. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit & Firefox 28 right now with no problems, but I assume as Firefox advances some functions on the older version will fail. Help please?

FJRRider,
You may want to take a look at this theme. Firefox 2, the theme, reloaded https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-2-theme-for-firefox-3x/ Big buttons, tabs below the Location bar - just above the page content "window", but the Reload and Stop / Go button can't be moved, though. It uses a combined Stop / Go button which might take a bit tome getting used to.
IMO, a lot simpler than Classic Theme Restorer and no need to fiddle around with a lot of settings to make it look "right", but it has a very limited ability to be changed or reconfigured.

The Classic Theme Restorer extension is incredibly comprehensive and definitely has a setting for the location of the tab bar in its Options dialog. You can access that from the Add-ons page. Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then find Classic Theme Restorer and click its Options button.
With respect to the address bar, what about it did you want to change that you couldn't find a way to change in CTR?
The default position of the tab bar and the address bar haven't changed for quite a few versions of Firefox: Tabs on the top of the window, and the location bar immediately underneath.
Can you send us a screenshot, or describe the position of these elements in your instance of Firefox?
I can't remember exactly what the issue was with the address bar, just that it's orientation with other objects changed. I'm an old guy ;-) & don't do change well anymore! The tabs bar was my biggest issue, if it's not directly above the window I get really messed up when browsing. I'm starting to believe I should just switch back to IE & be done with it. Firefox has been great, but realistically all I use my computer for now that I've retired is e-mail, news & a little research. Actually. I just convinced myself to use IE. Thanks for your time. Mark this solved please.
