new Firefox doesn't allow "tabs on top"?

In previous Firefox versions, you could check or uncheck "Tabs on Top" to specify whether your tabs bar would go above your URL bar or below the bookmarks toolbar. I unchecked it because I prefer the tabs at the bottom. That setting appears to be no longer available in Firefox 22. Has it been moved elsewhere in the menus, or is there another way to do it?

Try going to the about:config page and look for the browser.tabs.onTop setting.

There were some news recently about the Firefox teams removing "unnecessary" options from the Options page, such as allowing JavaScript. Perhaps the Tabs on top option suffered the same fate.

Thanks, that instantly changed it.

The Java vs. Javascript issue is interesting. I found out only last week that Java and Javascript are unrelated, and in fact Javascript was named Javascript strictly for marketing purposes. I wouldn't have guessed.
