Address bar too high or ...

[Hans L]

FF 81.0 64-bit.

From time to time (no idea why), the height of the address bar increases slightly, or an additional, slightly higher, address bar is overlapping the regular address bar. Completely idiotic, if you ask me, and it encroaches on adjacent tool bars.

Any idea why, and how to get rid of the nuisance?

Thanks,

Hans L

Do you have any Addons installed?

That 'feature' is the new so-called Mega-bar. The only thing I found on a search is to use a userChrome code. The initial pref's to 'turn it off'', used mostly for testing have been removed. I don't do userChrome hacks.. so I can't help you, but if you Google around 'turn off megabar', you will some code that's been posted to turn this off.

The bar only enlarges on 'focus' or opening a new tab.

Does not seem to be the problem. Thanks anyway.

Googled and found solution. Thank you!

You can possibly create a new Number pref on the about:config page named ui.prefersReducedMotion and set its value to 1 to disable some animations including the location bar breakout.

Yes, I may try that too, since I now see a thick blue line at the bottom of the address bart occasionally (I think the Mozilla people are trying to lose their 'customers').

Did you previously try code in userChrome.css (what code) ?

I did, but I do not remember what I did (forgot to document where I looked). I know the date I did it , but FF History does not show dates, so I can't find it.

Sorry,
