How to get rid of extra bar that comes with new update?

I am a huge Mozilla fan and have used FireFox for many years now. The new update messed up the way I had my browser but I found an addon that let me move things where I wanted them once again. There is one thing I have been unable to fix though - the empty bar underneath the tabs that stretches horizontally for the entire screen. I have unchecked the bookmarks toolbar, addon toolbar and additional toolbar, but whatever bar this is it won't go away.

I completely understand the need for the UI redesign and am not complaining.

As you can see, I like the minimalistic look and this bar is trampling upon that look. Once again I'm not complaining about the new UI, but will this bar be removable in a future update?

That's not an extra bar; it's the navigation toolbar that's always been there.

  1. Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
  2. Next to Classic Theme Restorer, click the Options button.
  3. On the Main tab, under General UI, check "Hide navigation toolbar".
