Does anyone know how to get the URL bar back? Firefox 38.0.5 on Fedora 22. I have both address and search bars visible. To be honest, I didn't know there was a way to hide the address bar. I have seen the search bar hide, when I've shrunk the width of the browser window too much, but that doesn't apply to the address bar. You might try hitting ctrl-L, that should bring up the address bar. As for non-verbal explanations, I've been wanting to explain some things to Mozilla's designers for some time now.

Re: [PLUG] Firefox again
about:config browser.newtabpage.enabled - set it to false. The outcome is the same as setting the url to about:blank, without the circle of Firefox still trying to load something. -or- browser.newtab.url - set it to something other than about:newtab.

Chrome does something similar. I struggled to make the new tab open my home page, with limited success.
