How do I customize the "awesome bar"?
I just got the forced upgrade to Firefox 12, and while I don't care for most of the new interface, I can deal. That said, I can't stand the changes to the "awesome bar." It's very distracting that it's highlighted every time I move my cursor over it, and I also don't like that all text other than the main domain (e.g., mozilla.org) is grayed out. Is there any way to get it back to normal?

Hi,
You can try to set the values of browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll and browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled to false in about:config.
Halfway there, thanks! Now all my text in the address bar is black. The field itself is still gray, though, until I move my cursor over it or highlight the text, then it turns white. I'd like to have it just be white all the time (and if there's a way to turn off the progress bar in the address bar, that would be awesome; if not, I can live with it).
Awesome, thanks so much.
You're welcome :)
