Tabs back on TOP, Legacy extensions disabled. 57.0a1 (2017-08-09) (64-bit).

My Tabs are back on top because the "Legacy" extensions "Classic Theme Restorer" and "Tabs on Bottom" are now forced to be disabled in V57.0a1 from 2017-08-09 (64-bit).

Does anyone know of a way to get the tabs back on the bottom, or if the developers will be adding this option?

The configuration variable "Browser.tabs.onTop" is set to "false".

Thank you.

Why are you using Nightly if you don't want the changes?

AIUI, Nightly (and only Nightly) users will be able to toggle "extensions.legacy.enabled" to allow Legacy extensions to be enabled. That doesn't mean they will work.

The pref is set to true by default in my Linux Nightly.

Nightly Tester Tools doesn't show my Titlebar customization, but I can still "Insert Build ID into Textbox". So it is partially broken.

When 57 is released into the BWW in November we are all.

With 55 the paving slab is creeping in to place, I only lost a few addons when that dropped in, but I won't be losing anymore when 56 and 57 arrive as I've taken the ESR route.

As if I haven't got enough to do without all this rubbish happening...

I simply want the best browser AND Tabs On Bottom. I hope those two goals are not mutually exclusive. Surely "Tabs on Bottom" is not that difficult to accomplish. Perhaps a new extension will show up if the Mozilla developers don't directly provide the option.

Thank you.

As 57 is not that far away now, are there any images available that give an overview of how the 57 thing will present itself?
