How do I prevent Firefox from shifting my typing from the search field to the address bar?

The topic says it all. How do I prevent Firefox from shifting my typing from the search field to the address bar?

I try to type a search into the field on my homepage but the cursor gets shunted up to the address bar and I can't find a setting turn it off. I would prefer my typing to stay where I place the cursor with a click rather than being shunted off somewhere else on the screen.

Enter about:config in your address bar, accept the risk as asked then search for handoff. Change the following preference to false. browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar

Thanks. And with the number of times I've found this question posted all over the internet while searching for the most current solution ... Why is this not just a toggleable feature by now?
