It's actually quite easy and can be accomplished by writing just one line of code. But first, you've to edit a certain file named userChrome.css that can be found following this roadmap: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxx.default\chrome

 

That "xxxx" part of the xxxx.default folder can be any random combination of characters & digits. In my case it was vu4p9w85.default. Anyways, once you reach that chrome folder look around for the file named: userChrome.css. Mostly in fresh installs that file will be missing. If that's the case - don't panic. Just create a blank file with notepad and type in the following text:

/* This line below displays the tab-bar in firefox at the bottom of the page */#content > tabbox { -moz-box-direction: reverse; }

Don't miss out the # before the content word. or else it wouldn't work. Now save the file and quit. If firefox is running, close it down and restart it - and BINGO !! Your tabs will be at the bottom instead of top. You can leave out the comment line from the code if you want (the line: /* This line.... page */). That's not needed - I just put it in there myself as commenting code is an old habit in me that'll never die. :P

 

Have fun :P

There's another way of doing it, i know it beacuse i had my firefoz running with the tab down without editing tht file..The thing is.. i can't find the file!!!jeje, i don't have an \Administrator\ folder (first), and the aplication data doesn't appear right on the user folder..Do u know another way... one using extentions...oh, another thing.. i asummed that .css is only for that theme, no??anyway, thanks!

When trying to do the above in Firefox 3, it works but the browser seems to forget loading any page at start-up. It won't bring back the tabs that were open when it was last closed, it won't even load the startup page! Any ideas?-question by guy from 2008
