When I open a new tab in FF 115 esr there is a search bar on the page as I had in FF 102 esr, but when I try to type in it, it jumps to the address bar - how to fix problem?

Does anyone actually like when the search jumps to the top of the screen? Edit the following to prevent the whiplash-inducing handoff.

about:config browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar False
