Reinstalled pc today and so also firefox. Now the address bar is as wide as it can be, not showing the search bar. When I look in customize I can see it, but when I exit customize it disappears again, even when I move it to the additional toolbar.

I did meddle customizing the buttons before the disappearance.

Also, typing in the address bar does not look in the history anymore.

Sorry for the confusion, this may be an experiment. Could you try this:

Type or paste about:studies in the address bar and press Enter (or Return) to load that page.

If you are enrolled in a user interface experiment, it should be listed on this page and there should be a way to uninstall/remove or to opt out.

Can you find it there?

More info about SHIELD studies and how to opt out globally if you prefer: About Studies.

The moment I clicked on 'remove' the search bar appeared again. So thank you for that. :)
