This is a fix to move Firefox's tab bar to be UNDER the toolbar and just above the contents pane (where it belongs), do these steps:

1. Type about:config on the address bar. Press "Enter." Click on the "I'll be careful" button on the "warning" page.

2. Search for toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets and set it to "True."

3. Go to the hidden .mozilla directory in your $HOME directory, and look for the subdirectory that's usually named some jibberish text, ending in .default.

4. Look for a subdirectory there named "chrome." If it doesn't already exist, go ahead and create it.

5. Look for a file named userChrome.css. Again, if it doesn't already exist, go ahead and create it.

6. Put the following on a single line within the userChrome.css file:

#TabsToolbar{ order: 1; }

7. Restart Firefox.

Now, your tab bar should be back where it belongs.
