Adobe Acrobat pro - 2024 - how to remove stupid floating tool bar

I have just been FORCED to install the most updated Pro version of Adobe.  IT IS THE PITS.

 

I am using version 2024.002.20759 Windows desktop version.

 

How can i remove this ridiculous floating tool bar?  It's so frustrating and gets in the way of working with a document.  It's pure distraction and frustration and completely distracts you from getting your work done because you have to keep moving it.

 

A few other things i'd like to see if can be mitigated:

1.  Bookmarks panel back to the left hand side

2. Tools panel back to the right hand side

3.  display contrast - grey on grey is the least visually friendly and excludes people with low vision

4.  stop the stupid pop up when you scroll over a picture or object in a PDF doc - why is this needed?

 

This is just one hour of using this, i can only imagine what other annoying 'upgrades' are yet to be found.

 

Any advice on how to fix these nonsensical features will be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you community!

I cannot understand why this toolbar was placed without an option to remove it. It is really a pest to deal with. I guess uninstalling the new Acrobat will have to be the solution until Adobe listens to its clients.
