I know I can do this with a customized toolbar that I make to look like the Navigation bar but then you run into the problem of Otter not remembering its toolbar positions and randomly re-arranging them.
But as stated until otter remembers the layout of its toolbars its pointless as all the toolbars tend to go back to their orginal positions.
Is there a way to move the navigation bar or move a bar beneath it.
I would like to have (in order):- Tab Bar Navigation Bar Bookmarks Bar
Whenever I try and move a bar beneath the Navigation Bar I get a Red Circle with a line though it and the Navigation Bar itself has no grippers to move it.

Otter has become already decently stable and recommendable for people who don't do too much with the browser, i.e. it's good for general browsing, okay for watching YT&FB, works for logging in and out of banking sites.
It doesn't work for my bank, First Direct. Click on the "Internet Banking" link at the top of the page and it just opens a tab with text in. Works fine in Chrome, Firefox and qupzilla (my current browser of choice)
Also clicking on magnet links returns a protocol error "Error 301 Protocol "magnet" is unknown"
3) When you highlight something and choose to search for it from the right click menu, for me, I would always like this search to open in a new tab. Can we do this or enable a middle click to open in a new tab.
It's controlled by ReuseCurrentTab, you can overwrite it by pressing Shift (new tab) or Control (new background tab).
Will give it a go. Thanks
Unfortunately ReuseCurrentTab is to global. For instance if I'm on a page and use a bookmark then it will open in a new tab - Not something I want to happen. It would be nice if you could use middle click rather than Shift or Control just to keep it all on the mouse rather than having to use mouse and keyboard.
1) I like to start the browser with just a blank page. The first time in a sesssion you load Otter this works OK but from then on it always starts with two blank tabs.
Which value are you using for StartupBehavior?
Startup behaviour:Show empty page.
If I just leave it like that when I start Otter I get the start page (The one with default search field in the middle and a big + sign to add sites). To truly get a blank page I have to go to the "Configuration Manager -> StartPage and set EnableStartPage to false.
2) I've got it set to not close the browser with the closing of the last tab. However if you do close the last tab you cannot then use the search bar. You have to open another tab and use the search bar from there.
This one was fixed recently.
Great - I normally update my Otter from the git version on Tuesday.

I use tabs vertically down the left hand side of the screen. In firefox there is an extension "Tree Style Tab". If this functionallity could be brought to Otter that would be cool.
You can drag tab bar using handle (usually shown on the left edge, when interface is unlocked) but solution more similar to that extension should be available in form of panel in near future.
Yep - I have already got the tabs down the left side. Its great you are thinking of adding the addional functionality to Otter
Firstly thankyou for this browser its my daily user apart from a couple of things:
I use Otter on an Arch Linux System with KDE 5 and QT 5.4.2
1) Clicking on a magnet link I get "Error 301 Protocol "magnet" is unknown" 2) Go to page www.firstdirect.com and click on the "Internet Banking" link. It opens a new tab but its just text so its not formatting.
Other issues of a minor nature:

Would like to have but totally understand if given a no. I use tabs vertically down the left hand side of the screen. In firefox there is an extension "Tree Style Tab". If this functionallity could be brought to Otter that would be cool.
