Dear Community,

the userChrome.css I used to use to disable the search bar expansion on focus no longer works (http://userchrome.wesleybranton.com/megabar). I disabled all urlbar.search options in about:config. But Firefox still gives me suggestions when I start typing about (as in about:config).

toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets is set to true. The userChrome.css is inside the chrome folder inside the profile directory. I'm on 140.3.1esr (64-bit).

How do I disable this for good?

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, Firefox changed a few things in the newer versions, so some old userChrome tweaks don’t work anymore. You might want to try the updated CSS from the latest megabar fixes on GitHub, a few users have shared working versions for ESR builds. Also double-check that you restart Firefox fully after editing userChrome.css; it won’t apply changes otherwise.

Could you help point me in the right direction? I tried some searches on git but failed to find anything useful.
