Please look into fixing this problem. What is the purpose of the web search bar in the middle of the screen if it cannot be used? There is a setting that allows it to be there but nothing that can make it a default search bar. The address/search bar up top is always the default no matter what I've tried. It's nerve wracking to see something there you can't use. If there is something I can do to fix this please let me know.

Enter about:config in the address bar and flip browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar to false.

I understand the about:config, after that nothing makes sense. I'm totally lost. I'm not computer literate. I need a step by step on what was just given to me.

Type about:config into the url bar and press return. You'll then see a warning which you'll have to acknowledge. After that another search box will appear. Into that type, or paste, browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar. This will then appear below with true next to it. Double-click the word true and it will change to false.
