It's straightforward with Nemo; just go into the "View" menu and tick
the "Show hidden files" box. But what if there's no menu?
My pet hate with browsers is having the tabs above the address bar,
and no easy way to put them below it. With Firefox, it was fairly straightforward with a userChrome.css file. However, with the
increasing tendency to write webpages specifically for Chrome, I have started using Vivaldi as a backup browser. Although its GUI is very customisable, like Fx there is no simple way of putting tabs below the address bar.
I recently found that it was possible to use a *.css file with Vivaldi
in the same way as with Fx to move the tab bar. The page <https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/56809/tabs-below-address-bar-and-bookmark-bar?page=1>
shows the script, and refers back to <https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/10549/modding-vivaldi> for general instructions on how to modify Vivaldi. This is the instruction list:
Adding Style (CSS)
--a-a-a Open vivaldi://experiments
--a-a-a Enable "Allow for using CSS modifications".
--a-a-a Open Appearance section in settings.
--a-a-a Under "Custom UI Modifications" choose the folder you want to use. --a-a-a Place your CSS files inside this folder.
--a-a-a Restart Vivaldi to see them in effect.
The problem is with the "choose the folder you want to use". On
clicking the "Select folder" button, a partial Nemo-type GUI appears
with a list of all the folders in my Home folder. Well, not all -
*none* of the hidden folders appear, and Vivaldi is in the hidden
.config folder! As noted above, it would be easy to see the hidden
files with Nemo, but the GUI which Vivaldi opens has no menu items. So
I took a chance and checked with Nemo's "View" menu, and after
ensuring the cursor was in the Vivaldi GUI folder list, keyed Ctrl-H.
I was relieved to see .config folder appear, and it was then a simple
matter to put the css file in it. On starting Vivaldi, the tabs were
below the address bar.
I hope that this is useful for anyone coming across a similar problem.

with firefox you can also have the tabs in a side panel, of course

I just use the CTRL-h key combination.

Which is what I used after checking Nemo, but it's not ideal if you're
at a page in a browser as Ctrl-H is used to open History!
