What do you change in about:config to change it? It's been driving me crazy since they implemented it.
browser.urlbar.update1 set to false will disable it, but that option is being removed in FireFox 77.
Awful. As soon as it can't be turned off, that's the moment I'll finally stop using the browser.
It breaks absolutely "normal" expectations of a GUI.

I mean, anything related to aesthetics is going to have some difference of opinion. Mozilla appears to have concluded it's the people who dislike the address bar who are a verbal minority, or they wouldn't have gone with it. And who knows, maybe Mozilla is right—but I wonder if they've actually done large-scale feedback gathering. This isn't the sort of thing you can suss out just from looking at analytics.
Almost everyone I know uses Google instead of the address bar, gah.

But in real life as a developer, not all of your users are using the latest one. If you depend on a certain feature, it’s a pain after looking up the version that started supporting it, to then have to look up what time that number corresponds to. (e.g. “that’s last month’s browser” is a bit different from “that got fixed in the browser two years ago, please update”).
In real life, developers use https://caniuse.com which tells you exactly what features are supported in what version and when that was released .
Anybody using Firefox password manager that can comment on it? Is it considered safe enough? Are the passwords stored remotely if you have multi-device profiles? Edit: I asked because I see that some of the updats are related.
Also, the old Firefox had a way of clearing all saved passwords from the Options menu. This is now gone, you can only delete a single password at a time. You need to enter the following URL into the Firefox browser, which will let you clear all your passwords: chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xhtml
I personally use KeePass, but I like having the passwords saved in Firefox so that they are accessible on all my devices.

I'm not sure if this is still the case, but Youtube used to use WebComponents v0 which has to be emulated in JS in non-Webkit browsers, since only Google ever implemented v0, while everyone else agreed it required a bit more work, and other engines run v1 instead, which is not compatible.
Youtube was updated to the v1 quite some time ago with a fresh Polymer version >Polymer.version 3.4.0 Polymer uses v1 WCs since Polymer v2
- Sending tabs between devices does not work. It sometimes arrives 12 hours!!! later
- Google Cloud Console has some UI issues on Firefox
- Twitter input field behaves extremely strangely when you enter an emoji and try to edit text afterwards
- I don’t understand why some html elements have a different appearance and default css attributes on Firefox mobile vs desktop
i just want to say, Firefox is seriously fast now, while Chrome continues to get slower [1]. my 10M datapoint uPlot benchmark runs in half the time, for both pure js (fake data gen) and canvas workloads (chart rendering). check out the console in [2]. however, i'm still waiting for the performance assessment in devtools to improve so i can get an easy summary as i can in Chrome. also, better default form input stylin…
> also, better default form input styling would be nice. it's so...Windows 98....but i'm on Windows 10. :\ Google and Microsoft seem to agree with you, but I totally don't get it! If the website doesn't specify a style, my browser should fall back to a design that matches my OS, not whatever the browser developer thought was pretty! And if Windows is coming back and telling the browser to use Windows 98 styled button…
There are 2 things I miss from switching to FF: Right click on a picture -> search google for image Right click -> Translate page Everything else seems smooth enough.
I love Firefox and use it as my primary browser for years but few things which annoy me: - Sending tabs between devices does not work. It sometimes arrives 12 hours!!! later - Google Cloud Console has some UI issues on Firefox - Twitter input field behaves extremely strangely when you enter an emoji and try to edit text afterwards - I don’t understand why some html elements have a different appearance and default css…
> The shadow around the address bar field is reduced in width when a new tab is opened; I mean, at least they're trying, I guess. Still seems to me like lipstick on a pig. I'm still trying to figure out what UX problem the expanding bar was intended to address.
