<p>That should work. Were the other rules working, but the new ones don't? If you use a font-weight of 400 you should get regular (non-bolded) text if 600 doesn't work well for you.

Hi,
I had applied the settings to disable the new urlbar features, but as of version 77 these no longer work.
I absolutely hate this change; it does nothing useful, it interferes with viewing the page, and it very much feels to me like change for the sake of change.
If someone can pass this on to whoever makes these unilateral decisions&nbsp;:
Don't make changes to the user interface that are not optional.
How do they not understand that changing the UI for hundreds of millions of people is not a good idea?
So my question is, how do I disable the new urlbar "features" and return to a plain static one?

<p>You can use system restore to go back to previous version then disconnect from internet and go to firefox settings and turn off auto update. It worked for me

I know that you volunteers are not responsible for these issues. I realize that you are simply providing a solution that <em>can work</em> for someone who really needs it. In fact, your solution is pretty elegant, given the constraints. My hope is simply that the Firefox developers who may read Deirdre's question do not see your workaround and conclude that they therefore have no work to do.

<p>As a partial workaround, I created an add-on. It works <em>outside</em> the bar because there's no way to integrate it directly into the drop-down:
