I’m still on the older version of Firefox ESR (the one before they disabled all the original addons and called them “Legacy.”) One reason I haven’t updated is that it broke the BBXtra codes for bulletin boards [”command”] and HTML<”command”> and I use both of those on forums I visit using my desktop PC.

BTW, I’m on iPad’s Safari when I’m at the house, so could use codes here.

Well, I just went to the office and opened Firefox -- all the legacy extensions (classic theme restorer, tab mix, adblock, etc. were junked and completely changed my browser look including putting tabs on top (instead of bottom where it makes more sense).

Thanks a lot Firefox...
Grrr...

WOW!I just found out that a developer has produced an update for BBXtra that keeps the format of "legacy" version:
bbCode for Web Extensions (bbCodeWebEx)

From the intro:

This is intended to be as close as possible to the functionality of BBCodeXtra, which was not migrated to Quantum.
There is only 1 top level menu because of the limitations of Webextensions, with what were the top level menus below it.

No if someone will develop an addon the puts "tabs on bottom" automatically without requiring insertion of complex code into a script, I might actually move to a newer Quantum version of Firefox.
