Moving tab location to bottom
I can't find any add-on or extension for SeaMonkey to allow moving the Tabs from the top to the bottom like Opera has as standard. I just don't like the tabs on top. They are hard to find, getting buried below the Address/Navigation bar. Having them right about the Task Bar makes more sense anyways.
I know there are a couple of add-ons for Firefox that allowed this. Also a 'Close' button on each tab is also missing as a standard option in either Browser.
Or,
is there something in that about.config file that will allow these changes?

Browsers that don't have a conventional horizontal Menu bar (where it's been for 25 years) are poorly designed. Period. Stop 'fixing' something that isn't broke!

Close button on tab, you should be able to come up with. I know it's been mentioned here before.
Tabs on bottom, don't recall?

Without using any extension, you also can close each tab, clicking it with the middle mouse button.

Re: Moving tab location to bottom
Ok that SeaTab worked as far as a close button. That also solved the problem of not being able to (easily) tell which tab is active. Two very bad omissions of Mozilla, which have been reasons I haven't used Mozilla, too many standard features (that I use every day, that come standard with Opera) are absent here.
I couldn't find anything from that other link.

Re: Moving tab location to bottom
I use a userChrome.css entry I got from this forum to change the background color of the active tab to ble so it' very easy to spot.
/* Change color of active tab */
tab{-moz-appearance: none !important;}
tab[selected="true"]
{
font-weight: bold !important;
background-color: rgb(100,200,255) !important;
color: white !important;
}
/* Change color of active tab */
tab{-moz-appearance: none !important;}
tab[selected="true"]
{
font-weight: bold !important;
background-color: rgb(100,200,255) !important;
color: white !important;
}

Re: Moving tab location to bottom
There is an extension called "Colorful Tabs" love that ext. random colors for each tab or site specific colors set in pref. but for your case there is also a pref. setting for fade percent on non active tabs. You could set the fade to 60% or so, so the tab your on would be pretty obvious. Here is the link or just look for Colorful Tabs in the extension library.

Re: Moving tab location to bottom
I'm more interested in the location of the tab bar. That add-on that adds the red 'X' helps somewhat.
I added that script to that chrome.css file, but it didn't take. Neither did a previous entry.

Re: Moving tab location to bottom
I didn't actually check the code that rich posted.
Mine is slightly different. Though would think that either should work?

tab[selected="true"] {

Re: Moving tab location to bottom
Tabs Mix Plus works in Firefox, is there any way one can force installation in SeaMonkey when one of these 'add-ons' won't install??
