Search bar moves when clicked, close-minimize icons not in the corner anymore

I noticed recently that my Firefox changed, now when I click on the search/url bar at the top of the screen it opens into this full window sized search bar that sits at the top of the screen which is really bothersome. I also noticed that the close and minimize icons which are normally at the top right of the screen moved to be pushed inwards. I cannot tell if this is some issue with my Arch install, or a theme, but I tried switching to other themes in Firefox that do not use the system stuff and it seems to still be an issue? Could it be something else? I am totally at a loss as to what caused this and how to fix it, if I need to do something else on my system I can do more troubleshooting as well. (I have included two screenshots showing what I mean)

Do you use custom userChrome.css file? Enter about:config in the address bar and turn off toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets + restart.

I have not set one up myself, is it possible another application or extension would do that without my knowing? I tried disabling it in the config but when I restart firefox it turns back on so I cannot seem to actually disable it.
