Help: Typing in the search bar on the firefox homepage jumps automatically to the address field/search bar at the top of the browser.
In the address bar type "about:config" hit enter and accept the warning that pops up then search for "handoff" then find "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar" and toggle it to false. More on reddit.com

What is the use for 2 search bars?
I think it is primarily just there as a legacy solution for those who liked to keep searches and the URL itself separate as was the only option a long time ago. Really, the uniform bar solves both issues. I wouldn't be surprised if they removed the separated solution at some point. More on reddit.com

The main search bar is now at the top of my page, not in the middle. | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support
July 3, 2018 - After a recent update a few days ago the main search bar which used to be in the middle of the page is now at the very top of the page. Can it be placed back in the middle where it's always been? Thanks so much. Regards. The Default Homepage and the New Tab page both were changed for Firefox 61 and that change did involve the Search field being a bit higher on those internal pages.

That is the address bar: it shows the address of the web page you are on, allows typing a new address to visit, and also allows searching. You cannot remove the address bar.

March 12, 2015 - You can turn on (or turn off) Firefox's built-in Bookmarks Toolbar using one of these methods to show the toolbar list: * right-click a blank spot on the tab bar (or the "+" button) * tap the Alt key to activate the classic menu bar > View > Toolbars * in Customize mode > Show/Hide Toolbars Does that work? And are your bookmarks still there? Regarding your Mozilla accounts, what kind of accounts are they -- websites? Sync? etc. ...

r/firefox on Reddit: Help: Typing in the search bar on the firefox homepage jumps automatically to the address field/search bar at the top of the browser.
June 6, 2021 -

hello, my very first post in this subreddit and i hope i've managed to follow all the rules.

(this may not be an actual problem, but it's annoying and not how firefox behaved before the update, and I want it back to the way it was)

I have an issue where if i type in the search bar on the firefox homepage, it automatically jumps up the the adress field /search bar at the top of the brower window. I have the same issue on two different machines. I've googled around and read some here in the sub but I can't seem to find anything related to this. The problem appeared after the latest firefox update (proton?).

Any and all help and/or information will be much appreciated (I might just have to learn to live with it).

(I'm unsure if I'm using the right terms in english so see the image below to see what I mean)

  1. Where i place the cursor to type and where I want to type

  2. where it actually shows up

r/firefox on Reddit: What is the use for 2 search bars?
May 5, 2022 - On my Mac, command-option-f focuses on the separate search bar. From there I can use the keyboard's arrow keys to choose one of my installed search plugins -- it's great (especially since I'm a fast touch-typist), I don't need to use the mouse at all to search. However it's been that way for so long that I don't remember whether command-option-f is a Firefox default, or I set it somehow as a Firefox config, or it's tied to the ContextSearch-web-ex entension I added.
