Solved

Hello,

Recently, the text entered in the Google search window jumps to the address bar. How can we prevent this?

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 89.0

    Hello,

    ==► Restore the New Tab Search Box 

    When you open a new tab, when you type a word in the search bar, the focus is immediately redirected to the address bar.
    Clear everything in the address bar and type or copy/paste ==► about:config
    Click on ==►Accept the Risk and Continue
    In the search box for a preference name, type or copy/paste ==► awesomebar
    Double-click on the line -► browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar
    Change the value to ==►false


    Now the search appears correctly in the search box and not in the address bar.

    See you later

      It's resolved. It's true that, functionally, it still works, but ergonomically, I find it counterintuitive and very unpleasant.

      Happy for you.
      Have a nice day.

      Thank you for the tip, Pistouri, and it’s true that it’s very annoying and against a tweet.

      The text entered into the Google search field will no longer jump to the address bar.

    I'll look for it, but it's not that annoying; it will yield the same search as if you were looking in the search bar.
