Firefox 75.0 has just been released. Address bar has been ruined with dynamic size and lines with increased height. For some unknown reason Mozilla developers think that taking away more vertical space will help their browser have "Focused, clean search experience that's optimized for smaller laptop screens" as they state in the release notes. Outrageous.
Now tell me how to go back to the old behavior.
I want a full horizontal length search result widget as it was before.
I DO NOT want an ENLARGED address bar while searching. Simply annoying that it changes its size and looks like popping out from the upper top toolbar every damn time I type something into it.
I want the ORIGINAL LINE HEIGHT of search results in the expanded address bar.
I want an address bar that doesn't expand when focused with Alt+D, like the old one.
I haven't found an about:config option to restore old behavior. However, a userChrome.css workaround is still good for me.

Just updated to v75.. and it broke my Firefox installation. It now won't load. I get a message:
"The procedure entry point ??0Mutexlmpl@detail@mizill@@QEAA@XZ could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Firefox\xul.dll."
and on clicking "OK" (no choice) I get another:
"Couldn't load XPCOM."
rats... I could uninstall and start over, but I'll lose all my bookmarks... unless - can I get at these and save them first for later import, or any other ideas...? (I've tried a reboot.)

Firefox update says error platform version 74.0.1 not compatible with min/max version 74.0.
Recently checked to see if my Firefox version was up to date. Instead I got the message shown above. What does this mean?

after the ubuntu 18.04.4 firefox update to 74.0 my passwords seams totally lost. No ask for my master password as I visited a login site. Going to menue passwords, I was asked for my master password, and after entering, my password storage was empty. After a very long time, it seamed as my passwords are back again, but they where not complete, only 271 where back. On an very old system, from which I had transferred the firefox profile to the system now in use, I had had 413 passwords and I had had to create a lot more since this clone. After update to 74.0.1 again, at first passwords where completely lost and now again, lots of them where missing. What was astonishing was, on the old system key4.db is 294912 Byte (and no logins.json), now key4.db is 720896 B (logins.json 141519 B) but for sure lacking lot of information!

This is more me "thinking aloud" about the master password and how (I think) it works.
My take is that: Without it being set, all you saved logins can be seen and any saved passwords are accessible to anyone. Including remote programs, etc.
So, you set a master password, and all is good. Or is it?
Here's my concern:
You go to a site and it asks you for your login/password. They are either saved or you save them. You are prompted for the master password and they are either saved or retrieved.
You go to another site and the saved log in is auto-completed with no input from you. That's good in that scenario.
But say you get some nasty software. It starts looking through your saved logins.
What is stopping it basically getting them all without your knowledge?
My suggestion is - though some may complain - that even if you have entered your master password, when a site requests access to your saved logins (or how ever it works) you are told with a simple "Site log in requested".
I may be wrong in my concerns but I feel it is worth asking/mentioning so the problem can be addressed or my fears allayed.
Thanks very much in advance.

Before the attempted "repairs" I had a browser that idled at 700mgs on the home page of the browser, now after over 15 hours on this damnable site, and all the repairs attempted the browser now idles at 800mgs on the home page. It seems the "people" of mozilla have deleted my previous question since the Moderator came out to brow beat and insult me because jscher2000 withheld the data needed and start investigating my use of the browser rather than answer question.

When I go full screen by dragging the browser window to the top of the monitor (Windows 10): My tabs row, toolbar and bookmarks disappear. There is a big blank white space where they should be. Screen shot attached. So can't use the instructions to exit full screen mode by clicking the menu button, because it's not there. The only thing I've found to work is to refresh firefox.

As of today, 04/09/20, every time I highlight something and then right click menu to search yahoo for whatever I highlighted. Before it always did the search in a new window. Now, today, when I click 'search yahoo for', it opens in a tab. I have the 'no tabs' add-on which has always worked great. I may be one of few, but I hate tabs. So, the tabs are at the top of the screen and when I click x in the top right corner I get the dreaded 'You are about to close 3 tabs' 'Are you sure you want to continue'. I put 3, but it could be 2, 3, 4 or whatever. Not sure what happened overnight and nothing shows in Event Viewer' that would cause this. Any ideas or solutions?

Even though I have deselected "Show search suggestions in address bar results" in my preferences, I can't get rid of it.
When I start typing in the address bar it has the whole drop down box with a bunch of search engines I don't want or use - YouTube, Facebook, Wikipedia, Reddit and Twitter.
It wasn't there before, and it's really annoying.
