I have it working in 64. Have not tried it in 65.

Let me know and if you want the code and I will place it up on vpaste.
It is 238 line long. You create a "chrome" directory in your profile
and drop it there.

1) First navigate to your profile DIR. Easiest way is to enter
'about:support' in URL box and from the page under "Profile Folder"
click "Open Folder"

2) Create a folder if it does not exist, (it probably won't), and name
it chrome.

3) Put file userChrome-tabs_on_bottom_Fx65.css in that folder.

4) Rename the file to 'userChrome.css'

5) Restart Firefox and enjoy!

Done that several times and all failed.


You must have made an error on one of the steps. Here is what it looks
like when done correctly:

I played around with the file and was able to put the Personal Bookmarks
Bar at the very top...it was strange.

I hope that some one comes up with a fix to move the tabs below the
bookmark tool bar.

Like I said yesterday, the fix is already available. The new
userChrome.css file for Firefox 65 is available he
https://www.userchrome.org/samples/u...ottom_Fx65.css

How and where to place it hasn't changed from before (versions 57 to
64). Only the actual content of the .css has changed.

Checking just now, Google has pages and pages of links describing how to
add userChrome.css to Firefox 65 to address the tab location situation.
If you don't like the link above, there are many others from which to
choose.

I tried to use that file and it changed nothing.

Those are essentially the steps I used a day or two ago and they indeed
worked perfectly.

Keith, if you're still not having any luck, tell us step by step what
you're doing and maybe someone can help.

The fix is different for 65 than it was for 57-64.

Win 7 uses profile in AppData/Roaming/ and ***NOT*** AppData/Local
Win 10 not running now but maybe is the problem

If you want to colour any folders that you may have on the bookmarks
toolbar, copy and paste the following lines between Begin and End to
the bottom of your userChrome.css file. Do not copy Begin------ and
End--------- lines. The folders are set to gold colour. You can
change the fill: number for different colours.

Begin-------

/* Colored folders for bookmark sidebar, toolbar, menu button */
/* Standard folder */
#bookmarks-view treechildren::-moz-tree-image(container),
#PlacesToolbarItems toolbarbutton[container="true"]
..toolbarbutton-icon,
#PlacesToolbarItems menu[container="true"] .menu-iconic-left,
#BMB_bookmarksPopup menu[container="true"] .menu-iconic-icon {
fill: #e8bb00 !important; /* slightly muted gold */
}

End-------

Heh, I love hearing "where they belong" because, yes, that's where they
do belong.

I suspect either he did not create the chrome directory, or more likely
did not correctly rename the file to userChrome.css. If he has that
stupid MS default of Hide extensions for known type enabled he may be
renaming it userChrome.css.css

basically I downloaded the file that has been mentioned. Using File
Explorer, I navigated to
C:\Users\userID\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Pr ofiles\ez8rogjb.default\chrome

Deleted the userChrome.css

Copied the file to this director and renamed it userChrome.css.

This is similar to the procedure I used to make the adjustments in the
last several version to keep the tabs below the bookmark toolbar.

Did you remember to completely shut down Firefox and restart it? I
believe it only reads the contents of userChrome.css during program
startup.

Oh, one other thing besides restarting Firefox. If you rolled back to
v64, then the new fix won't work, just like the old fix won't work with
pre-v65, so make sure you're using the right userChrome.css with the
right Firefox version.

Ugh! I said that wrong, but hopefully you figured out what I was trying
to say.

Firefox versions 57 to 64 had a 'tabs on bottom' fix.
Firefox version 65 has a 'tabs on bottom' fix.

Those two fixes both involve userChrome.css, but the actual contents of
that file are different and not interchangeable between the two fixes.

When I rolled back to 64 I pulled the userChrom from the back up folder
so userchrom 64 was used with FF 64 and userchrom 65 with FF 65.

To the previous post if I completely shut down FF, I have even tried to
added the 65 userchrom to the 65 chrom folder. and Restarting the
Windows 10 1809
