Address bar won't stay length I choose when I put Items between it and search box
Good morning. I used to be able to set the lengths I wanted for my address bar and search box. My firefox is updated to the latest version but the address bar is way too long and the search bar is too small. If I go to customize and remove any icons from in between them then once I get out of customization I can get them to stay the length I need. I can use the cursor to change the lengths with the bar between them.
However, if I put an icon back it lengthens the address bar substantially and then shortens the search bar. I never had this problem before and I am including images to show how the bars look when I put the icon in and when I take it out. I used to be able to put the icon in between as shown in the second picture and have it shorten the length of the address bar.
The first picture shows it currently, the second how I can make the bars without icons and the third is how I want it to be but this is in customize. Once I click 'DONE' the bars revert to how they look in picture one.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You lose the ability to inversely resize the URL Bar / Search Bar combination when 'buttons' or elements are placed between those two "Bars". Always been like that with Firefox, but worse since Firefox 57 Quantum.
Thru the use of userChrome.css code you can "fix" the size of both the URL Bar & Search Bar or each separately. But you need to keep in mind that the "default" in Firefox is now geared towards the "Awesome Bar" which includes most Search Bar functionality, and the separate / legacy Search Bar suffers; and that "suffering" differs in some versions. It's been a real challenge keeping up with the periodic changes that Mozilla has made to the UI elements since Fx57. "Stuff" breaks and the user has to search for fixes, namely the new elements tags.

Example of the userChrome.css code I have been using:
#urlbar-container {max-width:1050px!important}
#search-container {max-width:200px!important}
The largest collection of userChrome.css code for Firefox can be found here:

Hi Figureguy. I can confirm your findings in that if buttons are removed in Customize mode, then Customize exited and the toollbars resized; once buttons are put back between the URL and search bar in Customize mode and Customize exited, the search bar becomes ridiculously smaller and the new 'bloatbar' (URL bar) much longer, which did not happen until v76.
It would seem that this is a bug introduced in v76, but fixed in v77 which is scheduled for release on 2nd June.

the ed-meister,
Thank you for your help. I have tweaked many things in the about:config but I am not too familiar with the userchrome. I took a brief look at the page and will have to see if it is beyond me or not.
Scribe,
Thank you as well. If it is simply going to be fixed on it's own without needing to change anything that would be great. Hopefully that will happen but if not I will give ed-meister's suggestion a whirl and see what happens. If I run into a wall or problems I will update asap.
