Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; rv:76.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/76.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have to play with temporay settings in about:config or copy paste random css in userChrome.css to be able to disable the new oversized url bar.

Actual results:

Currently there are various prefs in about:config to set to false to revert the Megabar expansion / automatic dropdown. (For example, browser.urlbar.update and browser.urlbar.openViewOnFocus). Those will probably be removed later.

Expected results:

There should be a userfriendly setting in about:preferences to be able to toggle off this annoyance easily.

We don't plan to allow disabling the new design, if there are specific things breaking your workflow, please file those as bugs.
We plan to add a visible pref to disable top sites auto-opening.
