Firefox 71 changed my toolbar arrangement

My Tabs toolbar used to be under my Links toolbar. It is now above the Address toolbar.

How do I put my Tabs toolbar back where I want it (not where Firefox arbitrarily decided to put it)?

Alternately, How do I go back to FireFox 70.0.1?

System: Windows 8.1, 64-bit

              FireFox 71, 64-bit 

Note: My laptop (Windows 8.1, 64-bit) has Firefox 70.0.1 (but wants me to "update" (sic)). It has the tool bars in my preferred order. I'm not about to "update" until I know how to fix FireFox 71.

Chosen solution

Hi AIVAS, this question has been asked several times during the past week. You either can try a small tweak to your existing rules, or starting with a known working set of rules.

Small tweak that fixes a lot of existing rule sets:

/* Firefox 71+ */ 
#TabsToolbar { 
  display: block !important; 
} 

New rule set:

I just want to get back to FF 56 gui.

I have been looking for this for about 2 years after the option was removed with Quantum. This is the problem. We have to fight so hard to find any support to fix things Mozilla has taken away.

Wow, 186 lines of code to get text with icons. That looks like fun. I guess I can put it at the end of the existing code. We'll see.

The support Ask a question system does not do much good.

Hi jscher2000! Thanks again for all your help!

I finally found the problem and was able to successfully get the tabs below bookmarks! Turns out the file you pointed us to (userChrome-tabs_on_bottom_Fx72-74_WindowsLinux.css) is the correct file. We used it by renaming it as userChrome.css instead of adding a line of code pointing to the tabs_on_bottom file. The problem was that we were putting it into the wrong profile folder location. We were using an old shortcut to the Chrome folder. We went back a few steps to create a new Chrome folder in the now current profile folder and put the new userChrome.css file there, and it worked! I guess that the profile folders were changed somehow in the latest FF upgrade? Go figure! Too bad Mozilla made it so complicated!

Thanks again for your support! I couldn't have done this without you!

Firefox did it again.

Ver. 74.0.0 screwed with my screen settings. All of my Bookmark Toolbar bookmarks ended up in a column, not sidebar but very think toolbar (with very short screen left over to work in.)

I attempted to revert to 73.0.1 (64-bit on a Windows 8.1 desktop) and it went right ahead and re-loaded 74.0.0. In the process, I unintentionally let it setup another profile.

I managed to get it setup enough to "sort of" run.

Note: I kept what I hope is an ace-in-the-hole. I DID NOT let Firefox update my laptop (64-bit on Windows 8.1), therefore all of my settings are there if I can transfer them.

What I want to do is ditch Vers 74.

Re-vert to Vers 73.0.1.

Maybe copy my setup, etc from my laptop (if possible).

Note: For quite a while I have been using "userChrome.css" and it works very nicely (until FireFox comes up with another so-called update (sic).

Any help?

The code in userChrome.css for the multi-row bookmarks toolbar that worked in Firefox 73 is broken in Firefox 74 and you may see a long vertical list instead and needs an update.
