Does anyone know if there’s a way (extension or add-on maybe) in firefox to get the tabs at the bottom of the browser window. I’ve been using the Avant browser and am trying to switch over permanently to firefox, but find the tabs at the top quite unfriendly from a general usability viewpoint…
Similarly, when I search for content on a page and hit Ctrl+F, I’d like the search bar to be displayed at the top…
its simple usability principles that anyone who’s taken HCI 101 should know… data entry: go up,
point and click: go down.
Lemme know if there’s a way.
Thanks.

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Move_the_tabbar_(Firefox)
this is for moving tabs – edit userchrome.css file in firefox profile folder
here is the code to change the width of search bar
so i guess, if u put
in the css file, it might work…
p.s. there is mere tukka… will the real FF gurus plz stand up?
Re: tabs and searches in Firefox

Re: tabs and searches in Firefox
Thanks Genius...
yeah... I guess resorting to customization in userchrome will have to do.
This is what I've done with partial results for what I'm looking for:
/* Display the tabbar at the bottom */
content > tabbox { -moz-box-direction: reverse; }
/* Display the find bar on the right side */
FindToolbar { -moz-box-direction: reverse;}
Having the find bar on the right side is marginally better, but I'm still looking for a way to bring it to the top but there doesn't seem to be much online documentation for the FindToolbar.
Re: tabs and searches in Firefox
try this for the find bar

FindToolbar { -moz-box-ordinal-group: 3 !important;}
