When I start typing in my search window it now jumps up to the address bar. How do I stop that?

When I open a new tab I get a blank page with a search bar in the middle. I like that. But now when I begin typing in the search bar it jumps up to the address bar. My monitor is so big it is not in a position for me to see very well. I don't want my searches to jump up to the address bar.

To disable this new feature to use the location bar, you need to toggle browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar to false.
