User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:84.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/84.0
Steps to reproduce:
I updated Firefox.
Actual results:
Firefox introduced a user-hostile URL bar popup/expansion. Upon opening a new tab, the URL bar popup now obscures the bookmarks toolbar and requires me to click out of the URL bar to access the bookmarks toolbar.
Expected results:
There absolutely should be an option to disable this URL bar expansion/popup behaviour. A quick search on the internet shows this is extremely unpopular and whoever had the idea to force this implementation on users should be taken off the Firefox project.

The expanded address bar overlaps the bookmarks toolbar by 2px. In bug 1628243, we added 2px of padding to the bookmarks toolbar so there is no functional overlap between the address bar and the buttons in the bookmarks toolbar. That is, the click targets on the bookmarks toolbar are the same size regardless of whether the address bar is expanded.
