> Open a new window: the tabs are not there by default

It's not ideal but not a showstopper for me. I mostly use one window, where the toolbar is restored by default, and when I open a new window I got used to clicking the toolbar button (which I moved to the left) or pressing F1.

I just copied the "css hack" once and forgot. The last item is solved the same way. For those who don't know:

Inside the profile folder (with a name like "xxxxxxxx.default"), create a folder called "chrome", and a file inside called "userChrome.css" with the following content:

    #TabsToolbar, #sidebar-header {visibility: collapse !important;}
    #TabsToolbar {margin-bottom: -21px !important;}
IMHO It's quick enough to do and I believe this won't be needed in a few months.
Thanks! Here's how I did it on macOS:

1. Go to about:support in Firefox URL bar.

2. the address is in "Profile Folder" row.

Thanks! I didn't know that. It seems to be like that in other OSes too. I've tried to edit my previous comment but I was just over the time limit.
Brilliant! Thank you!
