Hello. Does anybody else is being annoyed by the way search engines are being displayed on Firefox lately?

Is there any way to make them look like before in a row not in a column? Wondering if there is an about:config trick we can toggle so we are back like before when it looked just perfect in my opinion.
Tnx ✌🏻 and have a great day everybody ✌🏻✌🏻
Isn't that FF vertical tabs (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-sidebar-access-tools-and-vertical-tabs#w_turn-on-vertical-tabs). If so it should be easy to disable them with right click on the toolbar or tabs...
Set browser.urlbar.scotchBonnet.enableOverride to false.
EDIT:
This could flip to true after browser restart. Go to about:studies and disable Address Bar Update Rollout
It seems that pozzila's bullshit studies are enforcing shit users never want.
I have no studies enabled and the 1st fix doesn't seem to work either.
Found a workaround by going to more tools > customize toolbar. From there we can drag the SEARCH BOX in place of that n00bish search engine column. After that going to a normal tab or webpage we can resize this search box.
The downside is that ONLY the other n00bih search box accepts url's the other one I can search only for some keyword or whatever I try to look up but does not support links. So I guess for now I'll use the n00bish box (right side) to access url's and the other one (left side) for searching. Like in the image bellow.

edit: another lame issue is when you write something inside that search box I've added (in the left side), the keyword remains there even if you open a new tab.
I think the problem must be deep buried in the code so it may be needed a soft fork to have ff back as it used to be.
I think I found something close enough so I can mark this one solved.
When the main search box is being used ff suggests search engines displayed as they used to be. See image bellow..

I didn't saw that the main search box had this feature.
