Latest Firefox released for Windows [2]

Is there no longer a way to revert to the old urlbar in 77.0?

In 76 you could just turn off browser.urlbar.update1 in about:config to get the old url bar back. But now 77, they removed browser.urlbar.update1

How do I get this new url bar to show recent sites instead of just the most visited sites?

In Firefox 77 you have to use css to get rid of the annoying expanding URL bar. I think Mozilla got rid of browser.urlbar.update1 in Firefox 77. A few days ago I gave up on stable Firefox, now I am using ESR (to avoid having to continuously reverse and fight changes like this one). Using Firefox from my POV because of all this annoying changes has become tiresome, and I am about ready to give up using Firefox. I am at the last stage before saying goodbye to it. Now that NoScript can be used in Edge, I can give up Firefox and not look back.

But anyway, after reading your post, I installed Firefox 77 in a sandbox and tested the code you ll find in the link below, I can confirm, it does works. It gets rid of the expanding URL bar in Firefox 77. If you are using css, just copy and paste the code below to your userchrome.css file. If you are new to css, you need to create the css file and place it in a folder named chrome and put this folder inside your Firefox Profile folder (AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Profile you are using). If you have problems creating the css file, I can upload a copy here for you.
