Recently Mozilla had the brilliant idea of doing something they've done before...obscuring the URL/Address from the user. So now when you search the URL bar never shows the address your query is sent to because "usr 2 stoopid, need dum." Mocking aside how do you disable this trash. I just came back to Firefox being fed up with Mozilla pulling idiotic pointless weekly UI/Behavior rug pulls like this and...well some things never change.

Thanks man. I had already checked in about:config with "urlbar" as my search but there were soooo many matches I couldn't find anything that looked relevant. Heaven forbid Mozilla just changing crap for the sake of change. Today I also noticed they force enabled a side bar I had to disable...seriously and they wonder why they are hemorrhaging users. (I'm still leaving Firefox again, setting up another browser right now in fact.) Mozilla is like a neighbor that likes to sneak into your house at night and move all your furniture around.
