Tabs below the address bar in Firefox 10 and above

If you found the new position of the address bar below the tab bar annoying (I believe they introduced this in Firefox 4 and above, but I'm not sure), you have the option of disabling it, so that it goes back to showing the address bar above the tab bar. Here are the steps to disable/enable it -

1. In the address tab, type "about:config"
2. Confirm the warning message that comes up (voids your warranty)
3. In the search bar type "browser.tabs.onTop"
4. Double click on the first result to change the option from true to false or vice-versa if you want to enable it.
5. Close that tab

You should see the changes effective immediately from this page itself.
