1643388 - Stop URL bar from enlarging on click

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1585912

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Maxim]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:77.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/77.0

Steps to reproduce:

With the latest update to Firefox, there is a feature that I would like to disable. When you open a window/tab or place the cursor in into the address bar, it becomes a bit bigger.

Actual results:

Ugly style of urlbar.

Expected results:

It should be possible to disable it in options.
I am not sure that it is defect but probably it is more defect than enhancement.
Because you broken well-worked urlbar and disappointed many users.

Thanks for reporting, we are aware of concerns by a group of our users, and we're evaluating with UX further mitigations to the ones that were already put in place. Though at this time we don't plan to provide an option to revert the design.

If you have specific functionality concerns, that are not just about the visual extension or subjective taste, please let us know about them more specifically.
