The newest update has a feature which annoys me a lot, and that is that opening a new tab seems to enlarge the search field temporarily. I find it very irritating and causes me to waste a click in my workflow just to get rid of it. I'd very much like a way to disable this feature - it definitely diminishes my usability experience!

Hi, you seem to have posted from Firefox 68 which doesn't have that extremely annoying and completely pointless 'feature.' However you are certainly not alone in your dislike of it. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/fwhlva/address_barawesomebar_design_update_in_firefox_75/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=firefox&utm_content=t1_fq50buw
