For anyone else wondering how to prevent the “improved” address bar from obstructing half the bookmarks toolbar immediately at startup:

browser.urlbar.openViewOnFocus=false
browser.urlbar.update1=false

A restart is required.

Thank you!

The firefox team and their "improvements" ...
I wish each release announcement of them included how to turn off their latest quirks!

Btw, these configuration items are going to be dropped. So, one of the next releases, we will not be able to undo that. Thanks, mozilla!

Do you have a link to the announcement about dropping these config items?

Out of curiosity, what is the behavior that isn't wanted here? I don't use a bookmark toolbar, so maybe I'm just not affected here. About the only thing I noticed is that the full URL is selected on the first click, so I need to unlearn the double-click-to-select-full-uri behavior I have. But that's just my use of the address bar.
