Oh, don't worry: more options have been removed again: setting browser.urlbar.update1 = false no longer gives you back the old, unintrusive urlbar behavior. Mozilla UX people have once again shown that they know best and you won't need to worry about getting a bad user experience just because you mistakenly thought you liked it.

Edit: Changed 'disabled' to 'removed' in the first sentence, as it's probably clearer.



I've been googling for the last 20 minutes trying to figure out how to re-disable this. Ugh, I can't stand it.


While you can't disable it, but you can still restyle it.

So the only alternatives to fixing this is either switching to an LTS release or changing browsers completely? Is there an extension that fixes this?


Time to fork, I guess.


Why do they even remove the option to change it to your liking? It's... madness.


This is exactly one of the things I wasn't really looking forward to.
