Firefox resize Awesome Megabar nonsense

As if the muppets at Mozilla haven't inflicted enough shit on people they now want to screw the already crap awesome bar.

With your Shiny nerw Firefox 75 if you click on the URL bar it now pops up right inyour face.

It is is SHIT. It is annoying as hell. And as with everything Firefox, trying to remove it or restore your old preference is made extremely difficult. Because they are right and you know nothing.

They are so busy telling each other how fucking wonderful they are that they forget that ordinary mortals don't necessarily drink the same Kool-Aid.

We want lean, mean, no spyware and no useless gimmicks. Stop trying to be clever, because you aren't. Stop trying to impress, because you don't.

A couple of ways to fix this bollocks.
