Nova force-enabled in Nightly, how to disable it?

i noticed recently that Nova is force-enabled in Firefox Nightly. I don't like Nova, and i want to disable it again. I tried going in about:config and looking at the "browser.nova.enabled" setting, and there's a lock on that setting which i can't change.

How can i disable Nova again?

A discussion thread How to Disable this disturbing nova design https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-to-disable-this-disturbing-nova-design/td-p/139558

Just to see with, userChrome.css and userContent.css, together.

check your setting in the screenshot, its got a lock on it, you can't change this. It used to be user-modifiable, but now it's not.

apparently Nova will be enforced/mandatory on regular Firefox on November 24th?

Yes. Any workaround has not been recommended for this very reason - these prefs are not supported and only existed for testing of Nova beforehand. They were never designed to be used long term and as expected are being removed.
