I'm not seeing any difference to the search bar in 56.

Can you attach a screenshot?


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

I mean the vertical old way as it was at the picture and NOT like the new way.

I don't think it's possible anymore. Used to be able to use Classic Theme Restorer to get the Old Search look but it no longer works with 56+. See https://github.com/Aris-t2/ClassicThemeRestorer/issues/299
