I disabled it in the first 15 minutes.

I just hope they don't remove the disable recipe.

Ah Goddamnit. That "megabar" is going to drive me away from Firefox. (And into the arms of Vivaldi, or something like that...)
The first time I saw it, I thought it was a UI bug. Is it supposed to expand, cartoonishly, beyond the confines of the existing bar, when you select it for input? It feels like an element designed as a helper for people with limited wrist/hand mobility (who need a larger target area) or poor eyesight.

I guess I'll head back to SeaMonkey now. The UI hasn't changed in a decade but at least the UI hasn't changed in a decade.

Yes.
