Address bar move itself to Narnia

For some reason, recent updates caused my Firefox address bar to misbehave.

I have already murdered the unwanted search engine suggestions which the standard settings failed to kill - I just kept turning things off in about:settings until the garbage feature died.

However, I am still unable to address the most annoying bug.

When I start typing in address bar, the pop-up box with suggestions, rather than attach itself to the bottom of the address bar, goes to some imagined, predefined anchor point which is off screen, somewhere outside the confines of the window. As a result, I see some suggestions, but I no longer see what the hell I'm even typing. I am attaching a screenshot. This is super annoying, as I am literally forced to either use bookmarks, or type out urls in notepad then paste them over.

Anyone can help?

It looks like you're using custom userChrome.css modifications. Try to remove it, or at least go to about:config and turn off toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets preference.

No idea how these got in there, but indeed, turning the setting off in about:config fixed the problem.

TYVM!
