Hi all -

How can I restore the old Firefox address bar in version 83.0? The new click invasive Megabar should be a user selectable option!

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Firefox 63+ has support for "@media (prefers-reduced-motion)".

You can create a new Number pref named ui.prefersReducedMotion on the about:config page to show or block some animations. In Firefox 78+ this includes the location bar breakout. In Firefox 80+ this replaces the tab loading indicator with an hourglass.

  • set the value to 1 if you want to block animations
    ui.prefersReducedMotion = 1
  • set its value to 0 if you want to see animations
    ui.prefersReducedMotion = 0

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".
