With version 113.0.1, the tab bar is back at the top where I loath having it

With this latest update, the userChrome.css file is either partially or totally ignored. Thus, tab bar is back at the top. When I use Firefox extensively like I do, I develop a muscle memory for where things are. In my opinion, and like many, many other people who agree with me, having the tab bar at the top is completely illogical. I'm sure at this point that Mozilla has received enough negative feedback about having the tab bar at the top that they are aware that this is a problem for a lot of people. One would think that they actually might want to consider making the tab bar location optional in order to keep end users. For example, in my case this is such a huge issue that I'm now looking around for another browser. I simply don't have the time to continually squander on overcoming major paradigm shifts.

I am referring to having the tab bar at the bottom of the screen, not under the address bar.

What sucks is that Mozilla don't do anything or even care when they get an issue submitted by us, the users.  Makes peeps look for an alternate browser?

For FF release 123.0.1 with Windows 11 this seems to work:
. . into one 'userChrome.css' file. The second hacks the first to put menubar at top, while still putting tabs where they belong, below all the window top-located bars.

My spouse a fix to reverse this problem for version 133

https://www.codehaven.co.uk/firefox/firefox-133-tabs-on-top-update-nov-24/

Thanks this worked for me 100% even fixed  another slight issue the past code  was giving me!

Glad that it helped. It's hard to understand why they don't give us a way to choose these options rather than have to go through this every time.

They use to reason this whole mess ticks me off no good reason to have removed it and no  good  reason not to give it back to us rather then having to mess  with code every time they mess it up on us as even the code can mess up the  browser and it needs to just be an option again!
