Humans are animals of habit, and as we grow older, we don't usually have much fun with change. In the world of computing, changes are generally for the better, changes that we end up getting used to, mainly when it comes to operating systems, since We have no alternative.

Yes, changing the operating system, a change that is obviously not possible. With the launch of the new Firefox update, with which the application reaches version number 75, a change has been made that some may not like, since otherwise, you wouldn't be reading this post.

The change is found in the search bar, a search bar that increases its size temporarily every time we open a new tab, showing a very similar operation to Google Chrome, and that is superimposed on the rest of the items in the bookmarks bar. At the same time, after this last update, instead of showing a list of the most visited websites, they are shown the ones we have fixed in each new tab.

These changes impact the aesthetics of the browser, never its operation. Fortunately, we can forget about these changes and continue to use Firefox as before the release of update number 75. To return to recover the traditional aesthetics of Firefox, we must perform the steps detailed below.

  • In the address bar we write: about: config
  • Next, we look for: browser.urlbar.update1
  • The value shown by default is true, we have to change it to false. For this, we only have to click on the two arrows (one in each direction) that we find at the end of that line.
  • In short, and for the changes to take effect, we have to restart our computer.
