Is any one working on the code to move the tabs to the bottom so they
are associated with the open windows.

After every new version we have to put up with the tabs in the
inconvenient location until the patch is published to put the tabs back
in the proper location.

Is there any indication of the version number under which this will be released? So I don't accidentally updated to that version.

Tabs are separated from the associated windows by stuff you don't need
when you have multiple windows open which I do frequently

I doubt it. From wonky memory, the address and tab bars were switched
with 'Australis'... and that was released in 2014.

inconvenient location until the patch is published to put the tabs back
in the proper location.

"Every new version" might be an exaggeration. Once I discovered how
to set up userChrome.css and found a suggestion for 'tabs on bottom',
that code has held, though other fiddling (by me) did upset it a year
or so back. Finding MrOtherGuy's csshacks on Github quickly resolved
the issue.

Which you'd already acknowledged (at my suggestion) four months back,
in your 04-29/30-2026 posts in the thread 'Tabs on bottom size'.
And I provided the .css at the time.

One could install the ESR (Extended Support Release) version of Firefox.
Then feature updates (major version updates) would only be once a year. <https://firefox-admin-docs.mozilla.org/guides/firefox-channels/>

There is a 3-month period with security updates to both old and new
major ESR versions. (This will give knuttle time to find a patch to put
the tabs rCLbackrCY where no other major browser puts them.)

Release dates are published in advance. <https://whattrainisitnow.com/calendar/>

It seems to be something that no devs want for reasons known best to themselves. I have a userChrome.css file in my (default)/chrome folder
to deal with this. That is, until the devs deactivate css files. :-(

You might be interested to know that in the "infinitely customisable"
Vivaldi browser, tabs on the bottom - where they should be - are also
not an option! Once again, a css file is required to put them there.

Can you show us a picture, with arrows identifying the separated items ?

I see

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

... Highlighted Tab page |

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

I checked in version 150 and it's the same.

Are you claiming that a Highlighted-Tab is showing up in a different window ?

The CCleaner browser -- it's my go-to backup for the exceedingly rare
occasion Ffox won't deliver -- also used to have tabs on bottom.
And on Android, Samsung Internet very recently fell into line as well.
<sigh>
I'd suspect it's just longtime users from Netscape Navigator once the dub-dub-dub picked up a wider user base in the mid-1990's who
literally see tabs on bottom as normal.

That's long been available... from the days when some users were
constantly searching to reduce the number of lines at the top of a
small screen.
I have a master prompt for my Bookmarks (which are sorted into categories/folders) at the far left of my tab bar... and thus have the Bookmarks Toolbar set to 'Never Show'.
