Since FF75 whenever i open a new tab or type in the adressbar the adressbar enlarges unnecessarily (see red marking in the picture (b), (c)), bleeding over in the tabs above (a) and covering (darkening, with a shadow effect) the bookmarks below the addressbar (d).

to me this is completely unusable in this state and everytime i see it, it is highly disturbing to the eye. how do i get rid of this?

Note that support for most these prefs is only temporarily and these workarounds will likely be gone in a few months (Firefox 77 and later).

browser.urlbar.update1 is already removed in 77.0a1.

In future Firefox versions you will need code in userChrome.css to undo the larger location bar.

For modifying what to show as suggestions there are settings in "Options/Preferences -> Privacy".

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
    Address Bar: When using the location bar, suggest.

Settings in "Options/Preferences -> Home" for the new tab page also apply.
