Enough is enough. I just downgraded to 76.0.1 and it should be good enough for a long time. Here is what I did on MacOS:

  1) Uninstall Firefox
  2) Install v76.0.1: brew cask install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/40b6b69674d6a068105059668163476f21d94258/Casks/firefox.rb
  3) /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox --allow-downgrade
  4) Quickly disable auto update in Preferences
  5) Be happy with the old bar ;)
Now, v77 is already "Install Pending" in "Show Update History", but it can be ignored. But still, does anyone know how to remove it being pending?

You should consider moving to Firefox ESR instead, so you'll still get security updates. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switch-to-firefox-exten...

It won't be good forever, but it will last longer at least.
