URL bar on top of search bar. Unable to restore it

more options

The address bar is currently on top of the search bar so search bar is unavailable. Customize is useless as it shows the search bar in place. But if I move it around or move icons around it, NO search bar visible. It's like visible is set to false no matter what I do.

How do I fix?

Hi  !

You say that 'Customize' is useless, but (just to make sure) :

Did you click on 'Restore Defaults'  ?

No joy  ?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

You may have received the TAARExperiment extension as part of a Mozilla Shield study.

You can disable this extension to op-out of this experiment.

You also could check here:

Type or paste about:studies in the address bar and press Enter (or Return) to load that page.

If you are enrolled in a user interface experiment, it should be listed on this page and there should be a way to uninstall/remove or to opt out.

Can you find a "unified-search" study listed there?

More info about SHIELD studies and how to opt out globally if you prefer: About Studies.
