I cannot for the life of me remember how. I'm looking at the user 
set about:config values and can't find it there either. But it is 
obviously still in force!

The dropdowns are unified, but I searched for the thing and came 
across this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noun-buttons/

which claims to separate that too. idk if it is crap though. My 
general assumption with [s]add-ons[/s] [s]software[/s] most 
everyhing is that it is until proven otherwise, but maybe it will 
be good.

indeed. And nice bright colors too, going back to the backlight 
but just the palettes in a lot of the older games seemed so much 
brighter than they do nowadays.

That's a film I feel that I should give another try. I watched it 
once a while ago and was meh, but that could be due to bias since 
I've heard a few people say it really wasn't that bad.
