Are there mockups of what it will look like instead? If this is getting rid of the enlargement effect when the URL bar is focused, good riddance

Does anyone have a screenshot or video of that? It gets a lot of hate here but I've either never seen it or never noticed it...
This page has images of both the inflated and normal size address bar: https://www.userchrome.org/megabar-styling-firefox-address-b...
Thank you, it turns out I just didn't even notice it.

The bar enlarging drives me absolutely mad. I hate it. It's crazy to me how you couldn't have noticed it.
I always find little quirks like this funny. Human minds ey.
Haha but it barely just gets a border! Maybe because I use a dark theme? When you say "enlarging", do you mean the drop down showing? Or the extra border?
Yeah I don't get it. It's the same as half the text fields on the web that get a border when focused.

Hope so, that was a horrible update and I had to mess around with custom css to get rid of it. Not even sure the point, no other design system uses components like that. Click it and it gets bigger with a shadow like a floating window? What were they thinking?
