Add option to show QuickFolders tabs below main toolbar

[RealRaven2000]

Add a new option that allows displaying the QF tabs closer to the preview area (below the main toolbar) like this:

Sure hope you can make this work! Thanks for all your excellent add-ons!

In Inspector, with MenuOnTop installed, I can move the toolbar to the desired location with this:

#QuickFolders-Toolbar {
  -moz-box-ordinal-group: 40 !important;
}

I think the main thing here is to give it a higher value than the main toolbar #mail-bar3

This method should also work as a rule in userChrome.css.

Upon testing without MenuOnTop, the same rule should also work in this case as by default there is no -moz-box-ordinal-group set for #mail-bar3 - so the value counts as 0. Only MenuOnTop adds the value 30 (and maybe other Add-ons that may influence toolbar location order).

This means a high value for -moz-box-ordinal-group will work in any case and push down the QF toolbar to the bottom of the container #mail-toolbox. I think 100 should be fine.

As regards configuration UI, the Options dialog is already fairly overloaded - is it okay to hide the configuration behind the General item "Hide QuickFolders when they are not needed"? This could just open a small config window (a method I have used before for other deep configuration to unclutter QF's UI) where advanced toolbar options can be modified.

apart from removing clutter, I also won't have to add multi-language translation for this feature.

Below is a test version. To set the new option do the following steps

• open QuickFolders settings, General tab
• right-click the option Hide QuickFolders when they are not needed
• find the setting extensions.quickfolders.toolbar.ordinalPosition and set it to 40 or a higher value.
• close the configuration window

To set to normal, right-click the value to reset to its default value ( 0 ).
