How do I get the Web Console on top, in FireFox 21 Mac?

In Firefox 21, the Web Developer Web Console seems to be fixed to the bottom with no option to change it. In previous version of FF, there was an option to put it on the top of the window. The bottom is a bad place for the Web Console, especially for Mac users. For one, the status line is right above the command prompt when something is loading or I'm moused-over a link, so I can't type in the prompt. Also annoying as a Mac user, when I bring the mouse too close to the bottom of the window, to type in the console prompt, my dock pops up. Whenever I want to use the console prompt, I have to bring the window up an inch to keep my Mac OS dock from popping up.

A quick fix: you can open the web developer console in a separate window (the icon next to X in the top right corner).

I prefer relative inside positioning to a separate window getting in the way. You must assume that I already know what the Web Developer console is to basic extent; it's not a tip to point out an elaborate and separate option that is already known to all who are familiar with the console. Perhaps I didn't explain my problem correctly. I think I meant Web Developer Web Console "above" not "top", but yes "top" to CSS definition of top, including whatever it is called in GUI terms "above", but not like window above or top in layers.
