Hello,

Firefox update today and once again i have the revamped address bar back. Is there any way to turn it off? like COMPLETELY turn it off, not just make it smaller or anything like that. i just want the old bar back, thats it!

the old method with turning update1 in config settings off doesnt work anymore...

Hello again, i found a more or less good solution i use this site: https://www.userchrome.org/megabar-styling-firefox-address-bar.html#mbarstyler

it can make the bar text smaller and not pop-out. I downloaded the file and tweaked it in an texteditor to fit my needs. It doenst look as good as the old one, but you can atleast look at it without damaging your eyes LOL.

it still is black eventhough i would like it to be white, so if anyone knows how to fix that a reply would be appreciated

hello kevin.kllaus,

For now though, Firefox users may make the following configuration changes to get the old address bar back:


  1. Load about:config in the browser's address bar.
  2. Confirm that you will be careful.
  3. Search for the following preferences and set them all to FALSE. browser.urlbar.openViewOnFocus. ...
  • browser.urlbar.openViewOnFocus
  • browser.urlbar.update1
  • browser.urlbar.update1.interventions
  • browser.urlbar.update1.searchTips
  • browser.urlbar.update1.view.stripHt
  1. Restart the Firefox web browser


Note that update2 preferences are already present but disabled at this point in time.

A second option, one that will resolve most of the changes even if Mozilla removes the preferences listed above, is to make modifications using a userChrome.css file.

Hello Arman,

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately the code in the Link you sent doenst work. I used one from another side which makes the searchbar smaller but the whole URL is in white text, it doenst grey-out the "unimportent" parts of it, like it used to before.

Additionally when i search it still shows the new reccomendations, which are:

  1. A lot bigger than they used to be
  2. The background of it is Black instead of white
  3. it doenst fill the whole page (just the space of the searchbar)
  4. and due to the bigger text it takes up alot of space, compared to the old one

Hello,, Revamped address bar with faster search The biggest change in Firefox 75 is the improved address bar that adjusts based on your screen size. There’s a refreshed look and feel with an enlarged bar, a single view with a larger font, shorter URLs, and a shortcut to the most popular sites to search.

Firefox 75 top sites

Speaking of search, the address bar is smarter at helping you narrow down your results, displaying additional popular keywords to help you find what you’re looking for.


Firefox 75 search bar popular keywords

Your top sites (read: most visited) are now available via a single click in the address bar. If you already have a site open in another tab but can’t find it, Firefox will highlight a text shortcut next to it. This also works for any page you search for and may not realize you’ve already opened.

What is black? Maybe you could attach a screenshot (not including any personal information) and point out the parts that you would like to change.

Also, a great site for personalized style rule support is: https://www.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS/

First Picture is what it used to look like. Second one is what it looks like now.

Just wanting to know if it is possible to get the old look or atleast the results in white, without the address bar being white. If not then, well i can live with it.

You could try this:

/* Force black-on-white for address bar drop-down */
.urlbarView {
  /* Eliminate dark background outside */
  margin-left: 0 !important;
  margin-right: 0 !important;
  width: 100% !important;
  /* Preserve bottom border */
  border-bottom: 1px solid 
    var(--toolbar-field-focus-border-color);
}
.urlbarView-body-inner, .search-one-offs {
  /* Pure black, slightly off-white background */
  color: #000 !important;
  background-color: #f8f8f8 !important;
  /* Remove extra line */
  border-top-color: transparent !important;
  /* Adjust distance to edges  */
  padding: 0 6px !important;
}
.urlbarView-body-inner {
  /* Fix width to avoid rows being too long */
  width: calc(100% - 12px) !important;
}
